Carcassonne, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is a remarkably well-preserved medieval city, surrounded by imposing ramparts that offer a unique insight into the history of the Middle Ages. Stroll through the cobbled streets and admire the Château Comtal and the Basilique Saint-Nazaire, a jewel of Gothic architecture. The town is criss-crossed by the Canal du Midi, making it an ideal place to explore on foot, by bike or by barge. And don’t miss the Lac de la Cavayère, a natural haven on the outskirts of the town, ideal for a relaxing break or water sports.
