Things to do in Carcassonne
1. Castle of Carcassonne
Medieval Carcassonne castle is a fortified town rather than a castle - and perhaps the most impressive fortified medieval town to be found in Europe. Which is ironic, because in the middle of the 19th century it was in such bad repair that it became scheduled for demolition, to be saved by the efforts of the local mayor, who called in the new'historic monuments' department to take a look.
