Medieval Carcassonne, maritime Sète : two Occitan jewels to discover

Carcassonne, a plunge into the Middle Ages : As you enter Carcassonne, you'll immediately be transported to another era. The imposing medieval city, with its ramparts, massive towers and château comtal, is a breathtaking sight. It's easy to imagine knights in armor roaming the cobbled streets, craftsmen working in their stalls and troubadours singing in the squares. Carcassonne is much more than just a movie set : it's a city with a strong soul, history and culture. Sète : an invitation to the Mediterranean way of life Sète offers a very different atmosphere. A port city bathed in sunshine, it's an inviting place to stroll and relax. The canals that wind through the town, lined with colorful houses and fishing boats, have earned it the nickname “Venice of Languedoc”. A stroll along the quayside is an opportunity to soak up the lively atmosphere of this Mediterranean town, where local traditions are still very much alive. You'll be accompanied by a private driver and, in Carcassonne, by a tour guide.
