Carcassonne Travel Guide Resources & Trip Planning Info by Rick Steves
"Stepping into Medieval Carcassonne's 13th-century world of towers, turrets, and cobblestones feels like entering Europe's ultimate walled fortress city, but it's often stuffed with tourists. At 10:00 salespeople stand at the doors of their main-street shops, forming a gauntlet of tacky temptations—consider yourself warned. Still, if I visit early, late, or off-season, a quieter Carcassonne becomes an evocative playground for any medievalist; avoid the midday mobs, spend the night here, and let this fairy-tale town make you a kid on a rampart." - RICKSTEVES
Located within the Medieval City, is this fun exhibition, of seeing day to day life, back in the day, there are various displays, like a black and silver smith, bow and arrow as well as others things to do and see.

Joined the medieval knight workshop driven by Kaami. He couldn’t be more kind with the kids, even he was so gentle to partly translate in Spanish. Great time, really worth!! Thanks Kaami.

Our kids (ages 8 and 10) did the leather workshop and the sword workshop, both by Knight Kaami. He was so wonderful, kind and funny and they both absolutely loved the workshops. We are from Australia and he kindly taught us some of the medieval history and explained things to us. It has been a highlight of our travels through France. Thank you so much Kaami!

Full with wrong information and myths about the middle ages. Texts are poorly (if at all) researched. In each text there is atleast 2 historical errors.
