The historic city of Carcassonne, unlike the rest, is definitely worth a visit. The best thing to do is to walk around on foot to see everything!

"Carcassonne, located in the south of France between Montpellier and Toulouse, was founded in the 6th century BC by Iberian Celts. The Romans turned the hill into a castle by building a protective wall. In the 5th century, the Visigoths conquered the city, and in the 8th century the Arabs, who drove them out in 759. In the 12th century, Count Trencavel built a count's castle on the highest point of the hill on parts of the Roman city wall. Carcassonne became a central element in the defense system on France's border with Aragon. In the middle of the 13th century, the dilapidated wall was protected by a second outer city wall." With these words, the website for the television series "Treasures of the World - Heritage of Humanity" describes the city that is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The 15-minute film is available – but only in German – in the ARD media library under the following link => https://www.ardmediathek.de/video/schaetze-der-welt/carcassonne-frankreich-folge-125/swr/Y3JpZDovL3N3ci5kZS83MTc1NzUw
