'''Carcassonne''' is small enough to walk around, but if you wish to visit the area you will need a car. A 15 minute walk is needed to get from the bottom part of Carcassonne (The Bastide St Louis) to the Cité. In summer there is a bus service. You are planning to come to Carcassonne... Of course the main thing to visit is "The Cité". I do recommend that you visit it during the day, but don't forget to there one the night has fallen. At that time, most tourists have gone (ok, not in summer) the lights have come on and there is that special night feeling...!!! With a little imagination you will be able to attack the old wall and pretend to be a "night". Have fun, the castle is a great play ground ;)

You also have the new part of town: The Bastide Saint Louis. Pass by the tourist office situated "Rue de Verdun", they will be able to give you all the details of things to see.
THE CANAL DU MIDI passes through Carcassonne. You can go to the lock to watch boats go through or go for a long walk along the Canals banks in the shade of the old trees. To find the Canal, you must go towards the train station. It is just in front of the station. You can also take a boat ride up the canal. I have never done it but it must be nice :).
