One of the reasons I wrote Labyrinth was because I was inspired by the amazing fortified medieval Cité of Carcassonne. I have written this guided tour – The Labyrinth Walk – so that you can see for yourself some of the sights that greeted my heroine, Alice Tanner, when she first stepped within the battlements. And, of course, the places that Alaïs Pelletier called home.
I think the tour should take about two hours. If you are tired, there is a short cut about two thirds of the way round. Of course, if you stop for lunch in the middle, who knows if you will ever finish it!
