Carcassonne holds two UNESCO listings: the medieval Cité with its 52 towers restored by Viollet-le-Duc — Europe's largest fortified ensemble, 2 million visitors a year — and the Canal du Midi crossing the Saint-Louis bastide. Flying over the Cité, a heavily visited national monument, requires specific authorisations (monument administrator, prefecture); Carcassonne airport (LFMK), with regular low-cost traffic, additionally places the west of the town under its CTR. The 14 July fireworks are covered by strict bans. The Aude economy relies on heritage tourism, winegrowing (Cabardès, Malepère, Corbières) and wind power.
