A beautiful square surrounded by interesting buildings with lots of shops and cafes. The Saturday morning market is excellent. We were lucky to also be there on the night of a food and wine festival, highly recommend it!
As Trafalgar Square is to London, so Place Carnot is to Carcassonne- not only a focal point of urban planning, but a space for community events.
At its heart is the Fountain of Neptune created by the Italian father and son sculptors Barata in 1771 and, when we were there, preparations were in hand for a wine fair or festival - it looked worth going back for!
