It was the Romans who began to build the first walls to protect themselves from the Visigoths (who nevertheless managed to take the city). Today, it is quite simply the largest medieval complex in Europe and you will enjoy immersing yourself in its history while strolling along its ramparts. You will also benefit from a splendid panorama of the city. By crossing the Old Bridge, you will easily access the fortified city, and you will dive back into historical settings that have hosted the filming of famous films such as Les Visiteurs by Jean-Marie Poiret or Robin Hood, Prince of Thieves by Kevin Reynolds. Discover the 52 towers of Carcassonne and the magnificent Château Comtal offering superb views of the surroundings. To charm you, Carcassonne also relies on its architectural treasures such as the beautiful Saint-Michel Cathedral with its Gothic style or the Basilica of Saint-Nazaire and its sublime stained glass windows.
