Carcassonne: the Occitan journey through time
Jérôme Prod'homme
Between the Massif Central and the Pyrenees, in Cathar country, Carcassonne, prefecture of the Aude department, is surrounded by vineyards, set high up on the banks of the Canal du Midi, not far from the Mediterranean Sea. The medieval city of Carcassonne is straight out of the Middle Ages. Classified as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, it offers a veritable journey back in time to the heart of Occitanie.
