Carcassonne, France
A Citadel among the CloudsExploring Carcassonne on foot feels like stepping into a world suspended in time. As you wander through the cobbled lanes of the medieval citadel, follow the line of its ramparts, and cross small, shaded squares, every step reveals another chapter of history. The city lends itself effortlessly to strolling, with its remarkable heritage, sweeping views toward the Pyrenees, and inviting café terraces for a leisurely pause, creating a visit that is both immersive and full of life, all at your own pace.

The climate is Mediterranean, with mild winters of around 5 to 15°C and hot summers, often between 28 and 35°C, or even more during heat waves; the best times to visit are generally from April to June and then from September to October, when temperatures are still very pleasant without reaching the summer peaks, allowing you to fully enjoy the towns, villages and coastline in more comfortable conditions than in the middle of summer.
No need to worry about where to begin! Our tours are designed as a loop, so you can jump in wherever you are. The navigation system and audio-guide will automatically adjust to your location. However, if you happen to be nearby, we do have a preferred starting point: On Pont Neuf (New Bridge), as you head for the medieval city
Free parking slots along the banks of the Aude river, Bezons alley Best place to park is along the river banks, next to the Pont Neuf (New Bridge): parking is free and you'll be within walking distance of the medieval city. If there are no free spots here, head for the paid parking lots near the medieval city, or in the Bastide neighborhood, which is a more budget-friendly option. As for on-street parking, be mindful of colored parking zones: in the light green and orange zones, parking is limited to 2 hours maximum, while in the green zones it is limited to 5 hours.
Our tour will take you past the Château Comtal (Count's Castle): remember to grab your tickets beforehand if you want to visit!
