Carcassonne is in 11, in a region where landscapes alternate between Mediterranean garrigue, vineyards and Pyrenean relief. Connections rely on the coastal A9, the transversal A61 and Pyrenean pass roads (Tourmalet, Aubisque) open in season. Sudden flooding during Mediterranean episodes can make some fords dangerous, signposted but sometimes underestimated. Driving in Carcassonne combines centre streets, peripheral housing estates and axes to neighbouring towns. Gaze control and priorities in residential zones structure a large part of learning.
