Private Tour Details

Join us to uncover the secrets left by the Cathars in southern France. We will meet in front of the Narbonne Gate of Carcassonne at the designated time to begin our private tour of one of Europe's best-preserved walled cities.

For two hours, we will explore the historic center of Carcassonne and learn about its past. The city features a remarkable medieval defensive architecture with a total of 52 towers, built for protection and surveillance against potential attacks. The tour will reveal the main enemies of Carcassonne.

We will also delve into the walls of Carcassonne and the history of key monuments, including the Basilica of Saint-Nazaire, which showcases both Romanesque and Gothic architecture. Its stained glass windows create unique lighting effects.

Optionally, we can visit two major attractions: the Condal Castle and the Museum of the Inquisition. The tour will conclude after two hours in the old town.
