Give us a best-kept secret about Carcassonne
While the medieval citadel draws millions of visitors each year, few realise how lively and authentic the Bastide Saint-Louis (the main town) is. It has a thriving arts scene, independent shops and excellent restaurants, and you’ll find far fewer tourists. Carcassonne also hosts a world-class summer music festival with open-air concerts in the ancient ramparts which is truly magical!
