Facts About Carcassonne

 

Today Carcassonne offers a unique historical and architectural asset. In the absence of any heavy industry tourism is undoubtedly the city's strength both because of its geographic position and its exceptional heritage. The medieval walled town, the Cité, lies on the right bank of river Aude, and is still home to its population of around 120, with a large number of shops and craftsmen. On the left bank, the modern city Bastide Saint Louis has kept its historical roots. You will be amazed by its outstanding variety of architectural styles, including buildings dating from the 14th to the 18th century such as the Saint Michel Cathedral. The mix of modernity and historical wealth offers a very rich cultural life.
