Gateway to the city and with a typically medieval appearance. Very picturesque route and magnificent viewpoint over the ramparts. To the west, the Porte d'Aude faces the river of the same name. It is located near the count's castle. This door is extended by the barbican of the Aude, partly destroyed in 1816 to build the Saint-Gimer church. Only the ramp surrounded by crenellated walls remains. This door, with a typically medieval appearance, has served as the backdrop for many film shoots...

une des portes d'accès à la Cité. nous avons pu la voir au moment de l'exposition de Felice Verini, une oeuvre polémique mais intéressante et éphémère.
Felice Varini
superbe idée et belle oeuvre! première visite de Carcassonne et la cité est magnifique, et cette oeuvre ajoute encore un plus.
Porte de l'Aude et parking du même nom
Belle porte. Belle vue sur les remparts et sur la ville. Parking payant très cher.
