Tips from the Community
The ramparts of Carcassonne were built in several stages over more than a millennium by the Romans (3rd-4th centuries), the viscounts Trencavel (12th century), and then the kings of France (13th century). The entire complex was then largely restored in the 19th century by the architect Eugène Viollet-le-Duc.

For years I have been passing by you, you whose age is immeasurable. Some would call you venerable (I will have to look up the dictionary to determine whether or not I am included in this group). What I do know is that you existed long before me, and I hope you will exist long after me.

Picturesque village, village of art and culture, village of books. Don't miss following the Chemin de Saint-Roch for its capitelles (dry stone shelters), its panoramas, the remarkable cypresses of the Chapelle Saint-Roch.
