A Centuries-Old Story 🌍📖
Carcassonne, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is famous for its 52 towers and 3 kilometres of ramparts , which have watched over the city for over 1,000 years . The Trivalle , located just a stone's throw from these fortifications, was once a trading hub where troubadours and artisans busied themselves on the cobbled streets. Today, it is a haunt of artists, small boutiques and cosy cafés where the echoes of the legends of yesteryear still linger.
Fun Fact 🎭: Did you know that Carcassonne inspired the tale of Princess Dame Carcas ? Legend has it that she saved the city from a siege thanks to a trick… and her name would have remained engraved in history!
