As you emerge from the cemetery, recross the piazza past the carousel and take the path through the Jardin du Prado. It will bring you down to a roundabout. Take the first exit on the left – again downhill – onto rue Gustave-Nadaud. As you follow the pavement down, you will see, on the north wall to your right, a magnificent mural depicting the history of Carcassonne.
If you are still full of energy, you could explore the lovely – but busy with traffic – rue Trivalle, which runs parallel. Have a look at the wrought-iron gates of the church of Notre-Dame de l’Abbaye and the eclectic selection of shops, galleries and restaurants.
‘Even when she left the Cité and started to walk down rue Trivalle towards the main town, she felt just as nervous. No matter what she said to herself, she was sure someone was following her.’
