It is a very pleasant walk up to the castle. First you go along blue signs and then along yellow signs. The natural reservation is quit unic, because it is a leafy forest. Around the castle you can see two rings of moat. The castle is being reconstructed by original middleage technique. After "conquesting" of the castle you will be rewarded by beautiful view to the countryside with company of romantic castle.

Cháteau Comtal

The Château Comtal (Count’s Castle) is a medieval castle within the Cité of Carcassonne, the largest city in Europe with its city walls still intact. The Château Comtal has a strong claim to be called a 'Cathar Castle'. When the Catholic Crusader army arrived in 1209 they first attacked Raymond-Roger Trencavel's castrum at Bèziers and then moved on to his main stronghold at Carcassonne.

The castle with rectangular shape is separated from the city by a deep ditch and defended by two barbicans. There are six towers curtain walls.

The castle was restored in 1853 by the architect Eugène Viollet-le-Duc. It was added to the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites in 1997.
