What to do in Carcassonne in the Languedoc region?<\/mark><\/span><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1997, the medieval city of Carcassonne<\/strong> attracts millions of visitors a year. As a result, it is the 3\u1d49 most visited tourist site in France<\/strong> after Mont-Saint-Michel and the Arc de Triomphe (according to the classification of national monuments in 2021). So it would be a shame during your camping vacation in Vias<\/a> to be so close to this architectural marvel and not set off to discover it for a day with the family. Finca L’Air Marin takes you on a tour of this Occitan city in the Languedoc Roussillon<\/strong> region. <\/p>\n<\/section>\n\n

Visit Carcassonne<\/mark><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Carcassonne<\/strong> includes a world-famous medieval city, where only a hundred or so people live year-round, as well as a lower town dating from 1260, known as the Bastide Saint-Louis<\/strong>, which represents the lively historic heart of the town. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is where you can browse the market stalls on Saturday mornings in the Place Carnot<\/strong>, or stroll through the Halles for fresh local produce. Aside from this, this medium-sized town in theAude<\/strong> department lies between the Pyrenees and the Mediterranean Sea, making for great hiking<\/strong> and contrasting landscapes. <\/p>\n\n\n
