Walk around the narrow lanes of " La Cité" (as it is called) and you will find a genuine medieval town sourrounded by 3 Km of ramparts and 52 towers, as well as hotels, gift shops, leafy squares and many restaurants serving regional cuisine. Classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1997, "La Cité" is visited year-around by those who want to feel history come alive. It's ans exceptionally attractive place and the setting for many events
If you travel with small children a good option could be a visit to Le Parc Australien, just three minutes from Carcassonne Medieval centre. Take a look...
A few minutes from the park you also have de Lac de la Cavayère with its picnic areas,children's games, water sports, sandy beaches and grassy edges, and the ideal place for fishing and walking
I've visited Carcassonne but I didn't know about the park. I'm sure my little cousins are interested in... thanks... JEN
