Historic Fortified City of Carcassonne

Reviewed By shonas804 - Auckland, New Zealand

We absolutely loved visiting here. Imagine a real life medieval town, Harry Potter fans would love this place. I loved everything thing about it .... from the cobbled streets, the amazing turrets, to the fantastic shops, the incredible history and being able who walk around in a living city with so much history. The church had gorgeous stained glass windows. Go here, it is amazing!

Abbaye de Belleperche

Built in 1143 on the banks of the Garonne, rebuilt on huge retaining walls in the thirteenth century, it was one of the three richest Cistercian monasteries of the south. Rebuilt again in the eighteenth century, it now offers its imposing majesty and provides a framework at the Museum of tableware.

We took a stroll down the Quai at sunset. There is a place where you can buy beer and wine. We then walked down the length of the Quai. Tons of people also taking advantage of the setting.

Bourg Medieval de Saint-Cirq Lapopie

Reviewed By ianj776 - Usk, United Kingdom

This ia a wonderful historic small town perched high on a cliff above the river below. The original building was probably the castle/fortification, again perched on high, now a ruin but still very evident. The town consists of several very steep streets dotted with cafes and 'tourist type' shops plus several decent restaurants. There is also a 'beach' and towpath below, popular with walkers - we did not visit due to time constraints. A welcome bonus bonus is the provision for parking which is ample in all areas.
