Before you travel to Carcassonne by plane - good to know!

The walled Cité de Carcassonne is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and should certainly be visited during a city break. Visitors may recognise parts of this historic town as it was used as a setting for the film Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves and also provided inspiration for Sleeping Beauty's castle, created by Walt Disney. Impressive jousting displays take place twice a day, while the Torture Museum is worth a visit – it is not, however, for the faint-hearted. A trip on the old merchandise canal barge, Le Haricot Noir provides something that is a little alternative while giving a different perspective on the city skyline.
