The building's got reputation. One of those iconic Carcassonne structures where the architecture does the talking before you even step inside.

Located in the heart of the historic center, this duplex occupies approximately 200 square metres across two levels in a property whose charm has stood the test of time. Not new, not pretending to be, just properly grand in the way French bourgeois apartments know how to be.

First level welcomes you with an entrance that opens onto a bright, spacious reception room. The kind of space where you could host properly without everyone crushing into corners.

Separate kitchen handles culinary ambitions without bleeding into the living areas, three bedrooms come with built-in storage so you're not immediately shopping for wardrobes. The layout suggests someone planned this for actual living rather than just ticking boxes on a floor plan.

The listing describes it as blending architectural elegance with contemporary French comfort, which typically means original features (high ceilings, period details, possibly ornate moldings) updated with modern conveniences. Five bedrooms total across the duplex, six rooms when you count everything, which gives you options for home offices, guest rooms, or just space to breathe.

Energy rating's a D at 211 kWhEP/m²/year. Not stellar, but not a disaster either for a historic building in Carcassonne's centre. Heating costs will be a thing, but you're buying noble heritage and architectural significance, not a passive house. Climate class is also D at 40 kg CO2/m²/year.

Carcassonne's historic center means you're living inside the postcard rather than looking at it. Medieval citadel views, cobblestone streets, cafes and restaurants within walking distance. It's a UNESCO World Heritage site, which comes with both prestige and preservation rules if you ever want to renovate.

€324,000 for 200 square metres in Carcassonne's heart, in a building people recognize. France has specific buying costs (notaire fees, registration taxes) that add up, so use the Total Property Cost Calculator to understand the full financial picture before making offers.

An apartment with this much space and architectural pedigree in a city tourists actually want to visit. The Property Market Comparison Tool lets you compare urban property prices, yields, and market trends across France, Italy, Spain, and Portugal, so you can see how French urban markets stack up if you're still weighing in on which country offers the best value for your budget.
