Cathar Castles

Reviewed By alexanderp982 - Helmsange, Luxembourg

Once you have parked in the village, walked to the entrance and paid the fee (face mask compulsory inside) you then take off your mask for the steepish walk up the hillside paths to reach each of the 4 castle ruins in turn. Allow 2 hours to do the tour. Ticket includes access to viewpoint across the valley which you can then drive to afterwards.

Historic Fortified City of Carcassonne

Reviewed By shonas804 - Auckland, New Zealand

We absolutely loved visiting here. Imagine a real life medieval town, Harry Potter fans would love this place. I loved everything thing about it .... from the cobbled streets, the amazing turrets, to the fantastic shops, the incredible history and being able who walk around in a living city with so much history. The church had gorgeous stained glass windows. Go here, it is amazing!

Porte Narbonnaise

Reviewed By Albywon - Sydney, Australia

This is the main entrance to the Citi and is normally crowded, at least that was the old "normal". Today, 19th May, open but pretty much deserted, due to the coronavirus. Hopefully it will be busy again one day...
