La Neptune sur Carcassonne

A monumental fountain created as part of improvements to Carcassonne’s water supply in the 18th century. Completed in 1771 by Isidore Barata and his son Jean, it features Neptune, the god of the sea and water, at its center. The basin is made from red marble quarried at Caunes-Minervois, while white marble was used for the sculptures, creating a distinctive contrast.

We had lunch at a restaurant. The square had a great atmosphere, but lots of annoying flies and wasps.

The terrace is clean and the staff are very friendly.

Cassoulet is too expensive. It's for tourists.

Magnificent fountain built in 1770 by Barata, father and son. It is located in Place Carnot, which is a very lively place.

Neptune's Fountain is located in the center of the city's main square. It's a refreshing spot in the heart of the local nightlife, surrounded by restaurants and bars.
