Carcassonne: Treasure Hunt - Explore the City Centre

New1 h 30 minFree cancellationBy City Escape Collection

About this activity

The only puzzle trail dedicated entirely to Bastide Saint-Louis — the neighbourhood where Carcassonne's residents actually live, a five-minute walk from the medieval Cité.

An original story rooted in real Carcassonne history. Each stop reveals an authentic fact about the town: the cloth-making industry, the Canal du Midi, the eighteenth-century merchants' townhouses.

Created and designed by a Bastide resident. Not a generic product copied across a hundred cities — an experience built street by street, with real local knowledge.

No app to download, no group, no fixed times. Start when you want, go at your own pace, pause whenever you feel like it.
