Carcassonne Car Hire from Auto Europe
The walled medieval town of Carcassonne stands majestically on a hillside overlooking the valley of Languedoc and the distant Pyrenees Mountains. It is considered the largest fortress in Europe dating back to the Roman Empire. Due to its strategic location, the town was invaded several times and was greatly restored and renovated during the 19th century. Today, the town is divided into two areas: the fortified Cite and the lower city, the ville basse.
Walk along the exterior walls and visit the Musee Lapidaire, dedicated to a collection of archaeological stones and carving that were unearthed during the historical restorations and excavations of the previous century. Also, visit the Basilica of Saint Nazaire, dating back from the 11th to the 14th centuries and famous for its stained glass windows and stunning ornate carvings.
