Travel Blogs from Carcassonne, France
La Cite
This is a top pick! ... renowned architect, Viollet-le-Duc took on the project of restoring La Cite. He obviously did something right as Carcassonne welcomes over 4 million tourists every year. We spent the day walking the streets people watching as much as ...
Winds of Change
This is a top pick! ... growing near by could tell some interesting tales for sure. From there we sped on to the medieval fortress town of Carcassonne. While its history stretches back across a myriad of religious conflicts and battles to 100 BC, it is now fully ...
Cathar Country
This is a top pick! ... hanging out late and watching the talk shows - with multiple trips down the hall of course to use the loo. OH - and Carcassonne - what an amazing place. I heard about it long ago from a Quebecoise friend named Brigitte who said it was ...
Chilly Carcassonne
This is a top pick! ... surrealistic work for real and not printed on posters or postcards from Athena or WH Smiths. We are now in the south of France and intend to see the highlights along the coast before getting to Italy. Marja has at last driven Banksy and she was so ...
Walls
This is a top pick! ... nice, but we were only here for the evening, so we kicked back, drank a load of wine and then died for the night. Carcassonne Some say that this is the premier walled town in Europe, whilst others say that this is just a town with a huge ...
Carcassonne
This is a top pick! We finally left the Abbey 3 days later and headed south to Carcassonne. For the first time since leaving England it was cloudy and raining. Now of all the fairytale castles/chateaus we have visited or driven past this has to be one of the best. Despite ...
A fairytale city
This is a top pick! I had been fascinated by the walled city of Carcassonne since getting my first castle book (yes, this is Laura). It certainly has to be one of the most famous walled cities in the world and its architecture is quite extraordinary, despite the fact that a ...
Robin Hood - Men in Speedos
This is a top pick! The town of Carcassonne is probably one of the most stunning medieval castled towns around. It is a maze of winding cobbled streets which are very easy to get lost in, while the outside walls strike up a stunning if not imposing fortified defence system ...
From today to yesterday
This morning we set out early to head towards Andorra. We drove up through the Pyrenees and crossed the border without incident. I was struck by the modern looking vistas of the place. Apart from one old church in Canillo everything thing looks very new. ...
day 34
Day 34 Big drive yesterday - really tired, but we must do something different for our last full day in France, so we decide to head direction Pyrenees, tthrough vineyard after vineyard, to the little town (it has a McDo we discovered - and no, we didn't ...
Carcassonne-Day 2
I got up this morning and went for a run along the banks of the Aude River. It was beautiful, rolling green hills, the river, the walled city above! I went back to La Cîte, climbed up on the outer wall and walked along its top as far as I could, then ...
Cité Médiévale
Today we visited the city of Carcassonne. It's a medieval city with surrounding remparts, a fortified city. The city was like a catholic stronhold against the nearby cathares. The remparts were build and re-built over centuries.The old town is incredibly ...
Regiment 3eme Rpima and the Old medieval Cite
... changed much. As I reflect upon this thought, this will be probably my last hurrah !!!! to come to Carcassonne. The Languedoc region is a beautiful part of South West France with flourishing vineyards and affordable quality wines, ...
day 30
... try to go into tell us that they're closing soon. We walk out of la cite, but not before purchasing a guide book on Carcassonne, and arrive at the pizzeria we saw on our previous walk, but they're not making pizza tonight - unfortunately, beggars can't ...
Villefranche De Lauragais
Just outside Toulouse is a quaint village called Villefranche De Lauragais, where the Charbonnier's lived. (The exchange family soren stayed with during his exchange).We went to see the village, which again seemed so much bigger 14 years ago. Found the ...
Carcassonne
... stumbling across ice-cream, and sweets. After dinner we take a stroll along the city wall, to see the sunset over Carcassonne..Truly breathtaking (and romanticJ). We continue wondering through the street until late at night, not wanting the night to ...
Carcassonne - Round 2 (Day 235)
In Carcassonne, we spent the morning in the real village, and the afternoon in the medieval city. Our quest (well, mom's) was to find record of one of our ancestor, Claude Guité, who was supposedly baptized there. We asked at some churches, some ...
day 33
Day 33 Today we travelled 432kms to see the viaduc de Millau. We travelled out of Carcassonne, with grey skies, not along the autoroute, and by the time we reached Narbonne, about 40mins later, it was brilliant sunshine. The non-autoroute road is like ...
Carcassonne and the authentic cassoulet
... whole week in Paris I can finally celebrate the end of my intensive French course by heading down south to Toulouse and Carcassonne. I'm also officially "well" again, having overcome the worst cold of all while in Paris. Saturday morning I boarded a train ...
Carcassonne (Day 188)
... if everybody played Edith Piaf, I would feel 100% French, all of the time... Unfortunately we only had about 2 hours in Carcassonne. I would have loved to spend a bit more time there. We hit the road again, stopping once in Spain at a gas station ...
Adios & Bonjour
... cold in Spain. What a great end for our stay in Barca. Next day, check out and in the car. We booked an apartment in Carcassonne in France so we needed to get on the road. After our coffee stop Sam decided it was time for him to drive. Sun was shining, ...
Medieval beauty
... , campings and carparks that they are used to large numbers. Fortunately it's very quite over winter, still a few tourists around though. Carcassonne is a medieval walled town with an intact castle. It's very "king Arthur", to give you an idea. The walled ...
Schlossed it.
... castle related. Also that in towns like this, he can use it up to a hundred times per day. Poor wife. Suffer the children. Carcassonne is one of those stand-out castle towns that we think epitomizes the romantic middle ages. Its cool to know that it was ...
Baguettes, haw haw haw
1st May - Doncaster to Carcassonne (France) Granville and Andrea woke us up at 3.30am for our short trip down the motorway to East Midlands Airport for our flight to Carcasonne. We met Jenny, Winky, Huw and Camilla at the entrance and checked in for ...
On the road to Barcelona.....

day 32
... 's worth a picture. The church is dark and sad looking, with church music being piped over the sound system, softly. It was once Carcassonne's cathedral, but no more. It looks a bit neglected. The day is getting late so we start to make tracks for home - ...
day 31
