10 Museums in Carcassonne Center That You Shouldn't Miss

June 10, 2021 Etsuko Causey

Step back several centuries and imagine yourself in medieval times. Designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site, La Cite at Carcassonne is a painstakingly restored medieval walled city on a hill by the Aude River. You'll half-expect to see armed lookouts manning the fortified city's towers. Cross the river to La Bastide neighborhood for all the charms of a French country town.

Musee De L'ecole

Reviewed By irishmick2018 - Dublin, Ireland

Really enjoyed this visit.OK you might say it’s just a school and you would be correct at that but it’s a walk back in time to see what a French school looked and felt like way back. A really interesting little museum very quaint and quite a bit of history to it in relation to world war 2. Well worth a visit

Really worth getting inside, its an impressive castle. Queues can be long for the tickets but move quite fast, be careful when you want to climb the wall as we missed the entrance.
