The city boasts two UNESCO World Heritage Sites: the medieval citadel since 1997, and the Canal du Midi since 1996. Originally built in the 5th century, Carcassonne flourished in the Middle Ages, and its most iconic buildings date back to that era. What many people don\u2019t realize is how much greenery and nature the city has to offer.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.19.1&#8243; background_color=&#8221;rgba(232,226,216,0.3)&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;50px||50px||false|false&#8221; animation_direction=&#8221;right&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;3_5,2_5&#8243; use_custom_gutter=&#8221;on&#8221; make_equal=&#8221;on&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.19.1&#8243; custom_margin=&#8221;||||true|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px||0px||false|false&#8221; animation_style=&#8221;slide&#8221; animation_direction=&#8221;right&#8221; animation_intensity_slide=&#8221;10%&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;3_5&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; custom_padding__hover=&#8221;|||&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; text_font=&#8221;Quicksand|||on|||||&#8221; text_font_size=&#8221;16px&#8221; text_line_height=&#8221;2em&#8221; header_font=&#8221;||||||||&#8221; header_text_color=&#8221;#83BE40&#8243; header_2_font=&#8221;|700||on|||||&#8221; header_2_text_color=&#8221;#000000&#8243; header_2_font_size=&#8221;30px&#8221; header_2_line_height=&#8221;1.2em&#8221; header_6_font=&#8221;Raleway|700||on|||||&#8221; header_6_font_size=&#8221;16px&#8221; header_6_letter_spacing=&#8221;5px&#8221; header_6_line_height=&#8221;1.8em&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;center&#8221; max_width_last_edited=&#8221;off|desktop&#8221; module_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||0px||false|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;||0px||false|false&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; header_2_font_size_tablet=&#8221;25px&#8221; header_2_font_size_phone=&#8221;18px&#8221; header_2_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">DON&#8217;T MISS:<\/span><br \/>THE MEDIEVAL CITADEL<\/h2>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider color=&#8221;#B22B88&#8243; divider_position=&#8221;center&#8221; divider_weight=&#8221;3px&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.19.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; width=&#8221;150px&#8221; width_tablet=&#8221;100px&#8221; width_phone=&#8221;50px&#8221; width_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; module_alignment=&#8221;left&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||20px||false|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;||0px||false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Discover Beatuty Text&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; text_font=&#8221;||||||||&#8221; text_font_size=&#8221;16px&#8221; text_line_height=&#8221;1.9em&#8221; header_3_text_color=&#8221;#B22B88&#8243; header_4_font=&#8221;|||on|||||&#8221; header_4_text_color=&#8221;#B22B88&#8243; custom_margin=&#8221;||20px||false|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;||0px||false|false&#8221; animation_direction=&#8221;top&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; link_text_color__hover_enabled=&#8221;on|hover&#8221; link_text_color__hover=&#8221;#83BE40&#8243; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p>The medieval citadel stands on the right bank of the Aude River.
