About this audio guide
This guide to the Hôtel de la Cité in Carcassonne follows the money on one corner of the walled city, from a bishop's palace emptied in the seventeen-sixties to a five-star hotel. You'll meet a Revolution-era merchant with a very practical idea, and a restaurateur and a bailiff-photographer who made a wager on tourists. Best heard from the square outside, facing the neo-Gothic front.
