Pont Vieux

A stunning introduction to the medieval city is this bridge from the 14th century. Up until n the 19th century, it was the only access from the Bastide, these days pedestrian bridge giving a scenic entrance to the Medieval City.

Beautiful old foot bridge connecting La Cite to the town. Worth a walk across to soak up the atmosphere of the approach.

Great place to see the whole castle! Also nice area for a short walk.

A beautiful 14th-century structure, reserved for pedestrians, which spans the River Aude to bring walkers to the foot of the medieval city, in Rue Trivalle. It is a wonderful observation post on the city and the surrounding mountains, the Pic de Nore on one side, the Pyrenean foothills on the other. You can picnic on the lawns of the garden dedicated to Pierre and Maria Sire, two authors from Aude, and take the children to have fun in the fenced playground.

Beautiful way to get to the castle and old town.

It's definitely worth crossing this historical bridge heading towards the castle cite.... have a nice stroll and soak in the lovely river/castle/city view....there is a public paid carpark conveniently located at the end of the bridge.

Good place to view the old city from a distance . Pleasant walk

One of the best old bridges I’ve ever been on or seen. Amazing views from the bridge over the canal. Even better to view the bridge from the newer bridge a few meters away. Classic looking bridge.

I stayed a week in Carcassonne below the old cite, so I walked across this bridge daily to get to the business, restaurants and markets on the other side of the river. It is a very sweet bridge with a lovely park below. It gives you a sense of the paths one had to take to cross over bodies of water centuries ago. Lovely walk and well worth the time to visit the area...dont miss the church !
