Sehr schöne Brücke mit herrlichem Rundblick.

It's always bustling with tourists in Carcassonne, but the city is magical and there's nowhere better to get your first view than from the Pont Vieux. The stately arches over the Aude immediately set your mind in the mediaeval period, and the view of the walls and turrets of the city rising over the trees are breathtaking. We saw three coypu swimming up the river one at a time, nibbling on the weed as they went, which was an unexpected treat (and led to us Googling just what it was that we were watching, as they aren't common back home!)

If you need to move between the real Carcassonne and the medieval city, you will most likely cross this bridge. It has a nice view of the river and the hill fort.

Crossing this bridge is on the way to Carcassone Castle. Beautiful views of the river from here.

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.
