castle and ramparts of carcassonne印象
-
Being in a walled medieval city is an amazing experience. Carcassonne is a magical place, I just regret that we didn't stay in a hotel within the walls - it must be amazing, especially at night, when they turn on the lights.

The most incredible and impressive structure and place to visit. You can't help but hear voices from the past, a definite must see!

Our second time here with my 9 year old, and as we walked around, the two of us engaged in conversation, taking us back to the times when this Castle was a live functioning place.It truly is a remarkable feat to have renovated this and the city. It costs 8:50 euros for adults and free for children. I feel that represents great value for money.

Fabulous walled City in excellent condition. The city is full of shops & restaurants and more. Lovely day out for all the family. It is open at night as are the businesses so go back for a really atmospheric meal.

Good time to visit despite the weather as so empty. Lovingly restored in the 19th century it is obviously still well maintained. Great views from the battlements, excellent film presentation with subtitles and fabulous ( and fabuland ) display of toy fairytale castles all made this a great deal for 8.50€. Only thing it was cold. So come dressed accordingly. Not sure how those medieval knights and ladies managed without their thermals!

I never tire of visiting this magnificent working castle. And, yes, several thousand years of Aude/Languedoc-Roussillon/Catalonia area history was restored in the 19th century; however, the state of disrepair was so pervasive that the French government was going to tear everything down (very unusual). Huge outcry. So, the castle was restored with the original plans (for example, the 5th century part of the Templar fortress, Courvoirtirade - also in the area - cannot be restored, as the original plans were lost.) . Any visiting friends or family are treated to this testament to a long-ago era, beginning with the petit train. This last time we were there, there was a wedding complete with a carriage. Delicious food and wine and gracious southern French efficient hospitality. I cannot wait for our next visit. (Sorry to end on this note, but I have to mention this - bring toilet paper or Kleenex.)

We have been to Carcassonne a number of times, and the castle and ramparts are the main draw.There are a number of small shops, restaurants and cafes within the castle walls, but the caste is a great day and definitely worth a walk round and explore. Some lovely views from the higher areas too.

The interior of the fortified city is beautiful to wander round. Lots of shops, restaurants and sights to see. We spent hours just walking round taking in the sights.

I recommend paying the extra to get in here if you are visiting Carcassonne. I paid extra (again) to get the self-tour which I would recommend if you want to go at your own pace. It was fairly busy but not uncomfortably so and the castle is very interesting.Do make sure you walk the walls as well - the views over Carcassonne and the surrounding area are superb. Leave yourself quite a bit of time to walk them as they are longer than they look and I certainly underestimated how long it would take! You can't go round in a circle unfortunately. There's a break so you have to turn around and go back the way you came. There are quite a few areas with steps so people with walking difficulties might find it a bit of a struggle. I actually enjoyed walking the walls more than the castle, but they are both worth a visit.

Better visited in warmer weather when renovations aren't going on. The wind was cold and the skies grey, but the visas I was still fascinating,a highlight being the introductory film on the archaeology and it's interpretation over the years.
