A double ring of towers on a hill above the Aude, restored in the nineteenth century and unlike anything else in France. Inside the walls it is narrow, busy and hard to photograph; outside, from the lower town and the old bridge, it reads as a single silhouette and works from dusk onward.

Locations
Best photo locations in Carcassonne
Where to shoot in Carcassonne, when the light is best, and what each place needs.
Pont Vieux
- Best time
- Blue hour, once the floodlights come on
- Permits
- Free — public bridge
The whole citadel above the river, lit. There is a window of about twenty minutes when the sky still holds colour and the floodlights are already on — after that the sky goes black and the contrast is unmanageable.
Lices de la cité
- Best time
- Before 10:00
- Permits
- Free between the walls; the château keep is ticketed
The gravel corridor between the two rings of wall — empty early, and the only part of the interior with room to stand back.
When to visit Carcassonne for photos
April to June and September to October. July and August are hot and full, and Bastille Day fireworks over the walls are the single busiest evening of the year. Winter is clear, cold and almost deserted.
