Carcassonne & the Medieval Walled Town

by LizC - last update: Jan 13, 2003

The Medieval City IS still inhabited today!

My favorite shot
We spent four days marvel around this great medieval castle, took lots of pics and walked all the paths in and out, and very much enjoyed the whole castle without taking a tour, NO tour in English, what can I say.

My favorite view is from one of the arched gate (right on top of the right side of the pic),looking at the city of Carcassonne down below with the fabulous fall colors in the bright Southern France sunshine. I tried so many shots as in the travelogue, but none of them can show what I call "Oh! My god!" magnificent view.

The cite and Pont Vieux from Pont Neuf

Pros:"Magnificent medieval city still inhabited to this day!"
Cons:"Not much in the new city, old city NO tour in English, no audio tour period!"
In A Nutshell:"Magnificent medieval city still inhabited to this day!"

 Hi Liz, I still remember well we slept in one of the towers. Also we had dinner in the castle. Only, we didn’t have a camera with us. We are planning a trip to France in the summer of 2004 and hope to visit again. Thanks for sharing you wonderful pics Liz
