Carcassonne
There are two sightseeing trips we liked, a small train takes you round the walls.
The other is a horse drawn carriage ride around the old buildings.You can also go on mini bus day trips at 27 B Rue frederic mistral 11570
Both take about 20 mins and have a audio in several languages to explain what you are seeing.The town has a good choice of restaurants in all price ranges
Carsassonne Walls
In the walled area there is a selection of shops where you can watch craftsmen working.
The city has a Cathedral dating back to the 14th century some parts to the 11th century.
The Museum of Chivalry, Arms and Archery has some interesting exhibits.
The museum of the Middle Ages shows you how to defend or attack a medieval castle.

Carcassonne makes a good base to tour the area it is not to far from Spain.
Or the South of France and the Mediterranean coast.
Most of the popular hotel chains have hotels in the area.
There are campsites or you could stay in a Gite just outside the town as we did. That way you can enjoy the local fresh produce and a glass or two of wine. In your own garden or by the pool after a hard days sightseeing
