A double-walled medieval citadel that looks lifted from a storybook and mostly is, ramparts you can walk the entire circuit of before lunch, and a cassoulet the whole region claims to have invented first.
The best time to visit Carcassonne is Apr–Jun, Sep–Oct, when typical daytime highs reach about 21°C (69°F).
