The area offers a wealth of interesting things to do. Plenty of villages nearby to explore and try the local cuisine. Carcassonne has the old part called La Cite which is the medieval section where you can walk around the old fortifications. It's packed with restaurants and bars and gift shops. Each summer it comes alive when Carcassonne hosts it's annual music festival. Concerts, both free and paying, are held along the streets and in the open air arena.
