- Hello and welcome to another history hike! Today is a big one, Carcassonne. It’s one of France's best known tourist attractions and rightly so. As a kid Dries visited Carcassonne and he has been fascinated with history, castles and the Middle Ages ever since. Jente was dragged along without too much struggle, a video was shot and history was made. Enjoy and never forget: castle love forever!
Castle coordinates: 43°12'25.2"N 2°21'47.9"E

Stunning you've done it what a treasure thank you for posting
Thanks a lot for watching 😊👍
When I first saw the castle I thought wow it looked like a fairy tale castle, then you explained conical roofs were placed there in the 19th century because that's what they imagined them to look like at that time. Makes perfect sense.
Yeah the romantic era. You gotta love it (they finally were interested in the middle ages) but they also did some weird stuff (tearing down abbeys as garden deco, restoring castles to 'how they should have looked like instead'). But Carcassonne is one of our absolute favorite destinations ever. We went two days in a row on our holiday there 😂
This place is so huge and the view is amazing. I like that the city is still there and it's not only the castle that remains.
Yes, the entire site is quite phenomenal! Walking through the narrow streets really makes you feel like you've travelled back in time. Glad we share the love for Carcassonne 😁
I’ve studied in France and travelled there several other times, but never managed to get down to Carcassonne. What a neat treat this was! Thanks very much!
You are most welcome ☺️👍. We make these videos to preserve memories for us as well, so whenever we want to revisit Carcassonne we're able to 😄🏰
You presented really well.
Thank you!
Super episode. Great history.

Thank you! 👍🏰😊
You guys do a great job on these videos :)
Thanks 😁
Amazing
It is! Glad you enjoyed 😁
Going there tomorrow! Very excited!
Lucky you! It's an incredible site. Take the time to enjoy the beautiful restaurationwork of Viollet-le-Duc. It really is the closest you can get to feeling like you're actually in the middle ages 😁
@@TheHistoryHikers have yall ever visited Rennes-le-Château?? Is so misterious and spooky , crazy story happened🥲 really bizarre
Not yet! But it is surely high up on our to visit list, and when we do you'll find it here 😁
@@TheHistoryHikers I would love to see it!!❤️😘
Good job with the video!
Not a difficult video to make with such amazing scenery!
Wohoo! Amazing place and great video 👍👍👍👍👍👍just been there recently
Carcassonne is a history lover's dream vacation destination! 🙌
Absolutely terrific. Both the city and the castle itself are beautiful although my first thought on seeing the castle was that those conical roofs looked a bit "off".
The roofs are indeed an "invention" of the 19th century by the architect Viollet le Duc. It's a romantic representation of what a castle should look like. If you haven't seen our video from Pierrefonds, be sure to check that out too. Also restored by le Duc!

Well there's a reason why it's not. The monarchs weren't good to their people so they deposed him...

So this is what living in the middle ages would look like, huh?
It is a very romanticised version of what it would look like. Also there weren't as many cars.
@wesley we should try to dub and lip sync this in plat hollands :D
