The City of Carcassonne, a Medieval Fortress

With its imposing walls and 52 towers, the medieval City of Carcassonne reflects more than 2,000 years of history and military architecture. Your guide takes you on a dynamic journey through the centuries, at the heart of an exceptional heritage site.

A tailor-made visit

Four themes are offered to enrich your experience:
  • Archaeological Tour: trace the origins of the city, from the 6th century BC to its restoration by Viollet-le-Duc. Roman remains, Visigothic traces, and medieval glory punctuate this dive into the past.
  • The Templars in Carcassonne: discover the influence of this religious and military order in Languedoc, their role in the history of the county, and their links with the Cathars.
  • Catharism: understand this major religious movement, at the heart of the Albigensian Crusade, and its inseparable connection with the city’s history.
  • Medieval Architecture: observe the different architectural layers of the city and be surprised by the details and anecdotes that testify to its prestige over the centuries.
Each thematic visit is experienced as a journey through time, where history comes alive before your eyes.
