Carcassone at Porte Narbonnaise by Beausoleil
We walked down to Place du Prado to take night photos of the illuminated La Cité, the reason we were staying overnight in Carcassonne. We've visited four or five times and never seen it at night so this was the trip. Fortunately, it stopped raining long enough for us to enjoy it.

Carcassone La Cité at Porte Narbonnaise by Beausoleil
Standing in Place du Prado, this is the view of Porte Narbonnaise. There is often a carousel set up here and horse and carriage rides on offer. Off season, it is a little quieter.

Porte Narbonnaise at La Cité in Carcassonne by Beausoleil
La Cité has two walls surrounding it and you can walk in between the walls . . . or take a horse and carriage ride around it. The views over the countryside are marvelous where you can see over the walls.
