"Carcassonne, located in southern France between Montpellier and Toulouse, was founded in the 6th century BC by Iberian Celts. The Romans transformed the hill into a fort by building a defensive wall. In the 5th century, the Visigoths conquered the city, followed by the Arabs in the 8th century, who were expelled by Pepin the Short in 759. 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." This is how the website for the television series "Treasures of the World – Heritage of Humanity" describes the city, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. ...

Pass used during the 1st Narbonne-Gruissan stage of the Tour d'Occitanie 2023. Beautiful climb on both sides for this pass in the Montagne d'Alaric and a superb view of the Minervois plain and the Corbiéres.

Unique part of the city in the shape of a castle

You will find yourself here at the foot of the ramparts of this major site, considered one of the most important medieval towns in Europe. From there you can continue to the Porte Narbonnaise a few meters away. I saw a cyclist come in through that door and ride through the city. But in truth, this is not of much interest, unless your thing is to ride on cobblestones while slaloming between tourists. It is undoubtedly preferable to stop at the ramparts, and even better to dedicate a leisurely sightseeing tour on foot to this exceptional fortified city.
