La Cite de Carcassonne sits above and beside the River Aude on a promontory of rock occupied since before the arrival of the Romans. Built in places on visible foundations dating from the Lower Empire (300/400 AD), the ramparts and fortifications visible today date from the 11th to 14th centuries. Extending over 40 hectares with walls of 3 kilometres it is packed with history, restaurants and countless visitors. Not to be missed!
