Visit 2 - 2 hours

Old City of Carcassonne, the St Nazaire Church and the Ramparts Walk

Description of the visit

There are two distinct parts to this visit :  

• The visit of the old city : the Narbonne Gate, the two sets of ramparts, the narrow streets, the view of the Count's Castle, and a visit to the St Nazaire Church
• The visit to the Count's castle courtyards and a walk ON the western ramparts (30-40 mn)

Please note

• This visit is similar to the 1 1/2h visit, but it includes a longer visit to the St Nazaire Basilica..

• The Count’s Castle is closed the 1^st of January, the 1^st of May, the 1^st of November, the 11^th of November, and the 25^th of December. The walk on the ramparts is therefore not possible on these dates.

Entry fees for the Count's castle

• Adults : € 6.5 per person (group of 20 minimum, or  8.50 € per person)
• School groups: the entry fee is a flat rate of € 30 for a group of 30 students. One teacher is allowed in free, the other adults must pay € 8.5.

For each visit, we will decide together with you, and based on your needs, where the best place would be to begin the visit: the guide can either wait for or join up with the group.

• At the group’s hotel if it is in the walled city 
• At a restaurant if it is in the walled city  
• At the main parking for coach-buses if the group arrives in Carcassonne at the moment of the planned visit.

Number of guides

The rates that we indicate are for a sole guide. If you wish, you may choose to have two or three guides in order to create smaller groups. The rate for the visit would then be multiplied by the number of groups you have planned on.

Please note the following:

• For visits to Carcassonne, which are entirely by foot, we limit the number of participants to 50 for each guide retained. For more than 50 people, a second guide is necessary.
• If your program includes a walk on the western ramparts, it is highly recommended that the number of people per group be less than 50 so that all those participating can hear and benefit from the guide. The pathway on the ramparts is very narrow and people must walk in single file – there is no place for the guide to have more than 25 standing around to listen.

Our rates

The rates indicated for each visit are valid all year, including Sunday and most official holidays.

 There are only three dates that require a double rate: New Year’s Day, the first of May and the 25^th of December.
