This medieval city in southern France is brimming with architectural marvels, and is compact enough to explore on foot or bicycle. La Cite de Carcassonne is a UNESCO World Heritage surrounded by an impressive double-walled structure dotted with towers, a drawbridge, and a moat. Inside you’ll find charming cobblestone streets, ancient buildings, fascinating museums, picturesque restaurants, bars, shops and food stalls.
Just outside the walls is Carcassonne’s vibrant Bastide Saint-Louis. Dating from the 13th Century, the ‘modern’ part of the city has a lively urban atmosphere and great shops. A short drive away you’ll find a sandy inland beach on the shores of Lac de la Cavayère. The crystal-clear waters are popular for swimming, water sports and family fun, and the lake is surrounded by scenic trails which are ideal for hiking.
The wider region is famous for its wine and many vineyards offer tours and tastings overlooking the vines. Cassoulet is the region’s signature dish, a delicious slow-cooked stew of sausage, duck and haricot beans, which is served in many of the local restaurants. Carcassonne is perfect for a romantic break, a family holiday, or as an essential stop on a backpacking tour around France.
