"Carcassonne is a wonderful fairy-tale city, featuring castles, drawbridges and small cobbled lanes. What’s best about this city is how compact it is, so you can actually explore the whole of Carcassonne in just a few days! If you fancy going shopping, I would recommend going into the streets off from Place Carnot, this is where all the little boutiques are, perfect for souvenirs to bring back home. It also has a weekly food market, a great way to see the local produce and try before you buy."
