★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 127 reviews · 2 hours 15 minutes (approx.) · from $24Our pick

Walk Carcassonne’s wartime streets with Paul, using archive photos and local stories to explore resistance, repression, and liberation.

“Thoroughly enjoyable 2 hour walk around the lower town of Carcassonne, covering all the important sites and people of the town from WW2, as well as some general background to France as a whole in WW2. Paul, the guide, is deeply interested in the subject and this shines through in the tour. Only thing that might improve it is a bit more on the activities of the SS and Gestapo in the city.”
