"Since the pre-Roman period, a fortified settlement has existed on the hill where Carcassonne now stands. In its present form it is an outstanding example of a medieval fortified town, with its massive defences encircling the castle and the surrounding buildings, its streets and its fine Gothic cathedral. Carcassonne is also of exceptional importance because of the lengthy restoration campaign undertaken by Viollet-le-Duc, one of the founders of the modern science of conservation."
This transfer may suit you if you would like to explore on your own. It consists of a motorcoach ride from the ship to UNESCO World Heritage site Carcassone. You will be dropped off at the city gates, and the coach escort will advise you of the pick-up time for the return journey. You will have approximately four hours to shop and explore independently.
Please note: Guide service, taxi transfers, entrance fees and lunch are not included in the transfer price. It will be your responsibility to be at the pick-up point at the given return time. An English-speaking escort will be aboard the transfer motorcoach to answer questions en route. The city center of Carcassonne features cobblestone streets and uneven surfaces with uphill climbs required. Wear comfortable walking shoes. Not advisable for guests using a wheelchair or for those with mobility limitations. Travel time to Carcassone is approximately two hours each way.
