Carcassonne is a gorgeous, atmospheric city (and UNESCO World Heritage Site) set to a snowy Pyrenean backdrop. Floodlit by night, the city has an almost enchanted feel to it, the many beautiful medieval castles that punctuate the landscape giving the place a fairytale-like beauty. The city is something of a tourist trap these days, with tacky souvenir shops everywhere and hordes of visitors bustling through the streets during the day, but don’t let this put you off too much – the city is a popular tourist spot for good reason. And when night falls, and the day-trippers have left, you will be treated to a quieter Carcassonne, bathed in floodlight and moonlight.
