Carcassonne Car Hire, France

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.
