Carcassonne walking tour with local guide
travel videos & photos at: townsofeurope.com/ with text, maps & links.
Carcassonne is one of the most authentic medieval towns in Europe, surrounded by a huge wall and perfectly preserved as it looked five centuries ago. The only way to see it is by walking, and we are led by a local expert, Philippe Miro, who shows us all the highlights and little-known parts of town. We also look inside the Castle Museum at the many fine exhibits that tell the history of this special place.

I lived in Paris in the 1970's and visited Carcassone more than 3 decades ago. France really is very beautiful. The French government has done a superb job in maintaining its towns, villages and medieval chateaux. Hope France will remain as beautiful for centuries to come. Thank you for the video.
These videos are a real blessing to disabled people who can not travel. Rome
was there last week. 2 hour drive from where we stayed nr Montpelier. Well worth the visit and in a word Magical!
I stopped on the train, but didn't get to actually see this beautiful place. One day though. Wow!
I am so glad to see these. I've never been to Europe and I want to go to places like these so bad. Sometimes all I can find are slideshows and it drives me nuts.
Great video! I've been in Carcassonne last February and woww... I had never seen something like that... It's just magic
Went there in 2005 and will be there in the coming November. Love it very muc and thank you for your video!!!
Im lucky enough to comne here twice a year due to my parents living here
Prachtig om te bezoeken.
visited in the fall of 2013 - we were staying in a castle near Rennes Le Chateau the night before and did the Holy Blood and the Holy Grail tour after an afternoon check in at the castle - went to Carcassonne the following day because it was the local big city in the story about Rennes Le Chateau - we didn't know there was a perfectly preserved medieval village in the middle of the city - it was a pleasant surprise and of course we toured inside the walls
I will be there early August 2013!! Cant wait.
I am going to visit tomorrow I am extremely want to see this place .

Fabulous, thank you :-)
Very nice place! a bit touristy though, felt a bit like a theme park.. but very interesting!
Going there in January.
The French guide sounds like he taught French to the Monty Python actors for Holy Grail.
I am going to Carcassonne 27-30 september !!!
you must also vist uk and of course Ireland for the magic and the craic
I was walking around the outside walls and found a bunch of French coins in the grass. Someone had thrown them off of the battlements or a tower.
Bran Castle lies in the hills of Romania. Some people believe that Count Dracula once lived there.
Charlemagne laid siege to the castle and the lady whose husband was away was in charge. He bypassed it because she fooled him into thinking that his siege was not successful.
I have between here
when you go there, do not miss the cassoulet

@Sergio Xander I would suggest FlixZone. You can find it by googling =)
Alan Rickman as The Sheriff of Nottingham.
Oh those English speakers! They manage to vocalize "double S", so Carcassonne becomes [KarkaZon]. Strangely, in some words like "casino" even a single S is not vocalized.

I miss the Kingdom of France. The Monarchy.
