Carcassonne Attractions

A unique medieval fortress, terraces to take a break, the possibility of walking on the ramparts, a breathtaking view of the city. In short, one of the highlights of our vacation.

The cité itself is impressive. And touring the walls and the interior of the castle allows you to complete the visit and learn about its construction and rehabilitation. Phenomenal in all aspects.

The place itself is enough. Maybe I'm being simplistic, but my little ones were expecting to see at least one suit of armor or weapons from that era. The emphasis is on "stones" (statues, ornaments, capitals), but in a castle, knights also have their place, especially as they are sold in all the stores, including the one in the castle, just like "weapons".

We were surprised to discover that the audio guides we had purchased were not the official ones for the castle. But in the end, when we downloaded the application, we did indeed have the information. Problem: our phone battery ran out faster than with the castle audio guide.

Very practical and quick to reserve tickets online, and above all, to avoid wasting time in the queue (which is quite long during school vacations and the summer season) at the ticket office.

The reservation was great because you avoid queues. The experience was great because you can access the castle inside and along the walls.

Carcassone wasn't very busy the day we visited so the ticket line wasn't long. However, I enjoyed the ease of having the tickets and walking right up to the gate!

I loved the views - stunning. But I wanted to commend your staff. In the wind, my glasses blew off to an inaccessible area between the ramparts and the outside walls. Your staff did is everything they could to return them to me safely and I am very grateful. Many thanks for helping a nearly blind customer find her way around again!
