Very practical and quick to reserve tickets online, and above all, to avoid wasting time in the queue (which is quite long during school vacations and the summer season) at the ticket office.View original review in French

Amazing! Didn't realize you could walk around rhe whole main wall and get a feel of what if would be like to live in carcassonne. Not to mention all the cafe and restaurants, again thought there would be a gift shop but we spent a good part of the day there , eating, exploring and shopping

You think you know what to expect from the tourist pictures, but is so vast and impressive that cameras cannot do it justice. Great signage and information boards help put it all in context. A wonderful experience and such a world treasure to be respected and cherished.

Entry went smoothly and we really enjoyed the tour. There was always something to read, just the right amount of information and not too much, so that we had time to let the atmosphere and impressions sink in. Highly recommended.View original review in German
