Just one hour away you will find the Valley of Carcassonne basking in the radiance of La Cité, a spectacular medieval walled citadel set on a looming hilltop. Punctuating the views with a sense of fantasy and made famous in recent years thanks to the Kate Mosse novels Labyrinth and Sepulchre, this UNESCO World Heritage Site was also featured in the 1990s film Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. A walk around the inviting, labyrinthine streets – with or without a guide - is a must. For those seeking an extravagant gastronomic experience, the La Cite hosts the fabulous 2 Michelin Star Restaurant, La Barbacane.
