Itinerary
1
Carcassonne Cathedral
You arrived in front of St. Michael's Cathedral. It was she who dethroned the Basilica of Saint Nazaire in the medieval city in 1803, stealing its cathedral status.
2
La Maison de L' Ambassadeur Carcassonne
Here, we will turn left, but if you continue a little bit in Rue Aimé Ramond, you will come across the Maison de l’Ambassador on your left, at number 50.
3
Les Halles Prosper Montagne
Here you are in front of a building that will interest more than one: the halls of Carcassonne. Built in the middle of the 18th century, this ancient grain hall was located on the Pilar Square, the place where thieves were exposed to punish them.
4
Place Carnot
You are now in Place Carnot, the living heart of the city. Ideal for a drink or a taste of local specialities in the restaurant, it is one of the busiest places in Carcassonne.
5
Eglise Saint-Vincent de Carcassonne
The church of Saint Vincent is particularly interesting because it allows you to climb to the top of the bell tower to enjoy a panoramic view of Carcassonne, in exchange for a few euros!
6
BASTION SAINT-MARTIAL
Take a look on your left: the wall that stands here is part of the bastion of Saint Martin, built in the 16th century.
7
Canal du Midi de Carcassonne
We are in the square André Chénier, named after this poet and French journalist who was guillotined in Paris in 1794, in the middle of the Revolution.
8
Eglise des Carmes
It was in the 13th century that this church was built in the heart of the Bastide, in 1297 exactly. It follows, like most of the city's churches, an architecture based on the Southern Gothic style
9
Hôtel de Rolland
Take a look on your left: here you are in front of the Inn of Rolland, the current Carcassonne City Inn.
10
Musee des Beaux-Arts
The beautiful building in front of you is the Museum of Fine Arts.
11
Square Gambetta
Facing the Museum of Fine Arts, Gambetta Square is a small, peaceful place where it is pleasant to take a break. It was built in 1861 as Place du Charbon, then Place Sainte-Cécile.
12
La Cité Médiévale
The Pont-Neuf, in opposition to the Pont-Vieux, which is directly opposite, was built in 1840 to allow a second access between the medieval city and the lower town.
13
Rue Trivalle
Here you are in Trivalle Street, located in the oldest part of the city. At the foot of the city, it follows the path of the ancient Roman road that connected Narbonne to Toulouse
14
Notre Dame De L'abbaye
Behind this wall lies Notre-Dame de l’Abbaye, an ancient monastery that comes straight from the Middle Ages.
15
Buste De Dame Carcas
Here you are in front of a statue of great importance to Carcassonne.
16
Porte Narbonnaise
You are in front of what is today the main entrance to the medieval city. The Narbonne Gate, which is actually on the Narbonne side, is an impressive fortification that provided protection for the city.
17
Chateau et Remparts de la Cite de Carcassonne
The large gate in front of you corresponds to the entrance to the castle. It is a barbacane, installed here to protect it.
18
Carcassonne Center
With more than 2 million visitors per year, the medieval city of Carcassonne is one of the most visited sites in France.
19
Carcassonne
Come on, let's get down to a little historical break. If you have ever listened to the audio guide that tells the history of the city, you have understood that Carcassonne was, for several centuries, a feudalism.
20
Basilique Saint Nazaire
The Basilica of Saint-Nazaire-et-Saint-Celse, of its full name, is the first building restored by Viollet-le-Duc during his great restoration of the city.
21
La Porte D'aude
You leave here from the Medieval City through the Porte d’Aude, which is next to the castle. I'm sure this setting means something to you...
22
Eglise Saint-Gimer
The church of Saint-Gimer is not as old as the fortifications of the medieval city. Indeed, it was not built until 1859, by Viollet-Le-Duc.
23
L'ancienne manufacture royale de draps de la Trivalle à Carcassonne
On your right, located at the entrance to the Pont-Vieux, stands the former royal linen factory.
24
Le Pont Vieux (The Old Bridge)
We will now cross the Pont-Vieux de Carcassonne, which allows us to cross the Aude and connect the two parts of the city.
25
Chapelle Notre Dame de la Sante
This small chapel on your left is well named after her: there used to be a large hospital right next to her.
26
La Bastide Saint Louis
You may have already understood this, but Carcassonne is divided into two parts: the Medieval City, perched on its rocky outcrop and surrounded by its suburbs, and the lower town, called the Bastide Saint-Louis, which is on the other side of the Aude.
27
Porte des Jacobins
Here you are in the place of General de Gaulle. Here, we come across what was once one of the most important buildings in the city: the Porte des Jacobins, on your right, marks the entrance to the lower town of Carcassonne.
