!!Pee on bonfire alert!!
Carcassone was radically rebuilt starting from the mid 1800s; there are dozens of real ancient villages in the south west of France (where I live), but Carcassone isn't one of them. Don't get me wrong, it's still very impressive...just nowhere near as old as it seems! I'll be driving past it in 'bout 3 hrs time on my way to the sea just south of Narbonne.
Have a great trip
