Carcassonne von Sergio Pazzano
Carcassonne's *Cité Médiévale* is a beautifully preserved fortified city in southern France, known for its towering stone walls, turrets, and labyrinthine streets. Dating back to Roman times, its current medieval character comes from restorations that highlight Gothic and Romanesque styles. Within the walls, you'll find the Basilica of Saints Nazarius and Celsus, cobbled lanes, charming shops, and restaurants. The castle, *Château Comtal*, offers panoramic views over the Aude River and countryside, making Carcassonne a magical experience that feels like stepping into the Middle Ages.
