Itinerary
1
Porte Narbonnaise
This fortified main gate, flanked by twin towers and a drawbridge, is your theatrical entry into the medieval world. It’s the most photographed spot in the city—and for good reason. Built in the 13th century, it’s both a defensive masterpiece and a visual icon.
2
Basilique Saint Nazaire
One of the oldest sacred sites in the cité, this church mixes Romanesque strength with Gothic elegance. The sculpted doorway, flying buttresses, and stained-glass windows are stunning—even from the outside.
3
Chateau et Remparts de la Cite de Carcassonne
Even without entering, the castle’s outer drawbridge and double defenses are awe-inspiring. This inner fortress is where Carcassonne’s counts once ruled and where attackers once stopped short.
4
Le Pont Vieux (The Old Bridge)
Dating back to the 14th century, this stone bridge connects the medieval cité to the Bastide Saint-Louis (lower town). Its gentle curve frames views of the walled city perfectly—especially at sunset.
5
Place Carnot
The walk ends in this bustling central square in the lower town, shaded by plane trees and ringed by cafés. On market days, it’s a swirl of colors, voices, and Provençal produce.
