What awaits you?
With the TouringBee audio guide, you can see Carcassonne as it was seen by people from different eras – those who built the first walls and those who tried to preserve the fortress centuries later. The stories highlight the clashes of faith and politics, the controversial decisions of rulers, the lost treasures and the fates of those who were forced to defend the city. Scattered legends and historical facts come together in a coherent narrative about a place that for centuries balanced between fear, power and a persistent will to endure.
- The story of the canal that forced ships to «rise» and «fall» at the command of wooden gates
- A painting by a master whose works are typically displayed in world-class museums – and here it hangs almost «at home»
- The Carcassonne board game, which unexpectedly turned a quiet southern town into an internationally recognised attraction
- Why the quickest way to lose a siege is often to begin one
- The legend of a princess who devised a strange trick with grain and a pig – and convinced the enemy army that the fortress was overflowing with food
- Confessions that were often written not with a pen, but with suffering – and how such «truths» appeared
- Are these stone creatures on the roof merely simple gutters?
- Honour instead of salvation, and a prisoner kept in his own castle
- Contemporary music resonates between stones that have endured centuries of silence and upheaval
- When the defence was purely symbolic – what made the attacks futile?
Please note:
- All admission tickets must be purchased separately
