Carcassonne is a place of contrast betwwen the plain and the mountain.

City of history and légend, where the capricious river Aude flows and the silent Canal du Midi appeases.

Carcassonne is burnt by the sun and shaked-up by the wind.

The City of Carcassonne is registered by the Unesco, in their list of a humanity's world héritage .
