In the 12th century, Count Trencavel built a castle on top of the Roman city wall at the highest point of the hill. Carcassonne became a central element in the defense system on France's border with Aragon. In the mid-13th century, the dilapidated wall was protected by a second, outer city wall."

For years I have been passing by you, you whose age is immeasurable. Some would call you venerable (I will have to look up the dictionary to determine whether or not I am included in this group). What I do know is that you existed long before me, and I hope you will exist long after me.

beautiful access to a picturesque town

very pretty viewpoint, a real balcony overlooking the Pyrenees with the beautiful Cathar castle

Church of the village of Montolieu, book village

Beautiful view of the city of Carcassonne

Picturesque village, village of art and culture, village of books. Don't miss following the Chemin de Saint-Roch for its capitelles (dry stone shelters), its panoramas, the remarkable cypresses of the Chapelle Saint-Roch.

The benches by the cemetery wall are ideal for a rest. From there, the castle can be reached in just a few steps.
