It was a wonderful trip. We arrived in Carcassonne and stayed at a hotel called Le Florentine, which is very close to the entrance to the walled city—you can even see the castle from there. Inside the city, the streets are charming, and there are plenty of places to eat and buy souvenirs. I 100% recommend buying tickets to the castle, since it’s the heart of the city and it’s totally worth learning about its history and seeing what it’s like inside.

The entire castle and the fortress walls are amazing and well worth a visit. The visual presentation on the first floor was especially beautiful and fascinating. We’ve never seen anything like it, and we travel all over the world.

Very good booking process. Clear description of attractions and facilities. The chateau was great and well organised, the presentation of the building and facilities were easy to access and follow.

A great tour for all ages, with an audio guide that lets you immerse yourself in the setting and the era. We loved everything about the castle and the ramparts—it’s really fun and engaging for everyone.

Getting tickets beforhand was a good idea, the entry was smooth & we got an audio guide which made our journey round the castle so interesting. The castle is stunning, so beautiful & its history just awesome, the audio guide relates it so so well.

It's hard to believe I'm saying this, but the strong wind really made us realize just how tough life must have been back then. It was truly striking.
