• Porte Narbonnaise - This fortified main entrance, accompanied by twin towers and a drawbridge, offers a dramatic introduction to the medieval era. It is the most photographed location in the city—and rightly so. Constructed in the 13th century, it stands as both a defensive marvel and a visual landmark.
• Basilique Saint Nazaire - As one of the oldest sacred locations in the cité, this church beautifully combines Romanesque robustness with Gothic grace. The intricately carved doorway, flying buttresses, and stained-glass windows are breathtaking—even from the exterior.
• Chateau et Remparts de la Cite de Carcassonne - Even without venturing inside, the castle’s outer drawbridge and dual defenses are truly impressive. This inner stronghold was once the seat of Carcassonne’s counts and a formidable barrier to invaders.
• Le Pont Vieux (The Old Bridge) - Originating from the 14th century, this stone bridge links the medieval cité to the Bastide Saint-Louis (lower town). Its gentle arch perfectly frames views of the walled city—especially at sunset.
• Place Carnot - The journey concludes in this lively central square in the lower town, shaded by plane trees and surrounded by cafés. On market days, it becomes a vibrant mix of colors, voices, and Provençal produce.
