Take the time to stroll through the streets or enjoy a ride on the tourist train. It is at Place Carnot in the heart of the city that you will find the market (Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday mornings), a must-see place where it is pleasant to wander and indulge in some delicious provisions. It is a lively place where it is nice to sit down for a drink on the terrace while discussing your next visit to the city. And why not visit the School Museum? Enter one of the old classrooms (from 1880 to the 1960s) and immerse yourself in this studious atmosphere between wooden desks and blackboards that will bring back memories for some. The younger ones can discover the school of yesteryear and try writing with a quill. Not always easy! More classic, the Museum of Fine Arts is free and its magnificent permanent or temporary collections are well worth a look.
The city is also crossed by a well-known gem of the people of Carcassonne and tourists: the Canal du Midi, to be explored by boat or bike according to your preferences. Another body of water, Lake Cavayère on the outskirts of the city will offer you a moment of swimming and relaxation with, in particular, the treetop adventure park or the Aquaviva water park, a very fun outing to do with family or friends during your camping stay in Aude. Finally, the Australian Park promises you a pleasant visit just 5 minutes from Carcassonne. A beautiful animal park with its kangaroos, ostriches, and charming parakeets.
