In order to respect the monument’s capacity, you must arrive at the entrance of the tour located at the Narbonnaise Gate at the time indicated on your order confirmation (15 minute time slot).
If you arrive early, you will have to wait unless we are able to fit you in.
If you arrive at the entrance of the tour after the end of the reserved time slot, we reserve the right to refuse you access to the visit if the gauge or the closing hours do not allow you to enter (no refund possible).

The night tour remains open in case of light rain.

In the event of a storm, heavy rain, or strong winds, the event may be postponed to ensure the safety of staff and visitors. In case of cancellation, visitors are entitled to either reschedule their tickets or receive a full refund of their order. Please contact us via the contact form on our website.

The Remparts et Lumières night tour takes place mainly outdoors, which is why we recommend you to put on the right shoes (closed shoes recommended) and to be careful while walking to avoid any risk of falling, particularly because of the steps along the way. By purchasing your ticket, you confirm that you can make the visit, accepting the very small risks that this outdoor walking activity may involve.

We also recommend that you keep informed of regional weather forecasts, especially the temperature which may drop in windy conditions, in order to cover yourself accordingly.

The booking includes the Remparts et Lumières tour as well as the provision of headphones in your language (French, English, Spanish or German).

Between a sound journey and a light show, Remparts et Lumières is a unique immersive experience to discover at nightfall the fortifications classified as World Heritage by UNESCO. You will be equipped with headphones that will synchronise with numerous light shows and video mapping.
Your walkway will take you from the Narbonnaise Gate to the Cour d’Honneur of the Château Comtal, passing through the fabulous ramparts of Carcassonne.
