Carcassonne holidays
Carcassonne travel in France is a great spot for families and kids. A medieval castle is one of the main attractions, as well as the Canal du Midi, Bastide Saint-Louis and the man made Lac de la Cavayère. The historic city of Carcassonne, located in southwest France, will win you over with its warmth. It was classified a UNESCO heritage site in 1997 and forms an important part of the medieval crusades and history of Europe. Today, visitors are welcomed to walk through the famous castle, explore both the medieval and new city, stroll along the Canal du Midi and play at the local lake.
The Viscount’s Castle was begun in the 12th century. It has undergone many changes, most notably in 1229, and acted as a strong defence throughout its history. The castle now lies partly over a Roman domus and spreads across 3km of ramparts. Walk around and through this masterpiece to see the 52 towers and basilica Saint Nazaire.
