Hi I'm Amanda :) I'm an artist, who teaches languages and is a trained wine maker....all things that have taken me around the world through working and living! Come and walk with me and my son and see some of Carcassonne :)
Welcome to a charming two-hour walking tour of Carcassonne! Nestled in the heart of the Occitanie region in southern France, Carcassonne is renowned for its medieval fortress, which stands as a testament to the city's rich history and architectural grandeur.
Waterways and Walkways- my tour will show you some of the natural beauty of Carcassonne, as well as the winding little streets and lesser known spots that tell the stories of this old city.
Starting in Square André Chenier, we will follow part of the Canal du Midi up and around the upper Bastide area, looping back down past the cathedral and towards the river Aude, the Barbacane neighbourhood and skirting la Cité before we arrive at our finishing point at le Pont Vieux, my hope is for you to see Carcassonne from different perspectives.
Throughout our tour, I'll share captivating stories and insights into Carcassonne's unique blend of history and modern allure. While two hours merely scratch the surface of Carcassonne's enchantment, this walking tour promises to offer you a delightful taste of the city's medieval splendor and French charm!
I will be by the fountain in Square Chenier with my baby attached to me!
Meet at the fountain, observe marble column, learn history
We will walk a short stretch of the canal and learn some of its history.
Part of the natural beauty of Carcassonne, we will cross over the river and pass through some of the green areas of town.
Here we will be visiting the exterior of the church and learning the history of the neighbourhood.
Leading us to our closing point of the tour, we will descend the length of this colourful street.
Free tours do not have a set price, instead, each person gives the guru at the end of the tour the amount that he or she considers appropriate (these usually range from €10 to $50 depending on satisfaction with the tour).
