Carcassonne
2 things to see
Carcassonne’s medieval walled city, the Cité, is free to enter and wander, making it one of France’s most impressive free attractions. The cobbled lanes, squares, and outer ramparts cost nothing, though the inner château and the wall-walk charge a separate admission. It pairs well with Toulouse, an easy cheap regional train away. Spring and autumn dodge the summer crowds and the high-season room rates.
