The Cité de Carcassonne is the fortified core of the famous walled city of Gallo-Roman origin in southern France. It consists of double defensive walls punctuated by 52 watchtowers, a castle with a museum, a Gothic cathedral, and impressive historic buildings within the enclosure.

Fantastic time spent exploring the streets and shops around the Chateau and then an interesting trip around the ramparts and museum inside the Chateau. It was a fantastic day.
