All about Carcassonne

Source: www.provencebeyond.com. Posted on 08 December 2006.

Carcassonne is most often described as a walled Medieval town in the Languedoc region of southwest France. There are, in fact, two Carcassonnes: the famous walled City (cité) and the adjacent town of about 45,000 people.

Carcassonne is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Carcassonne is said to now (2006) be the most-visited site in France, surpassing even Mont Saint-Michel. Since the bulk of the visitors here arrive mid-day or later, we strongly advise a morning start to your visit.
