We made a mistake visiting the walled Cité de Carcassonne early the next morning, before the crowds but instead the streets were busy with dustcarts and delivery vans so it lost its charm somewhat! Also the motorhome parking area was €10 - expensive for the short time we stayed there (but we could have stayed overnight for the same fee as several motorhomes had done.) We later drove past free parking places a short distance away.
