The Diocese of Carcassonne and Narbonne is a Latin Church ecclesiastical jurisdiction or diocese of the Catholic Church in France. The diocese comprises the entire department of Aude. It is suffragan to the Archdiocese of Montpellier.
On the occasion of the Concordat of 1802, the former Diocese of Carcassonne, nearly all the old Archdiocese of Narbonne, almost the entire Diocese of Saint-Papoul, a part of the ancient Diocese of Alet and ancient Diocese of Mirepoix, and the former Diocese of Perpignan, were united to make the one Diocese of Carcassonne. In 1822 the Diocese of Perpignan was re-established.
In 2006 the diocese of Carcassonne was renamed the Diocese of Carcassonne and Narbonne.

The Pont Marengo crosses the Canal du Midi and links Carcassonne to the local railway station.
The busy canal lock at Port Marengo is a tourist attraction as the canal boats work their way along the canal. The bridge is named after the Battle of Marengo at which Napoleon defeated the Austrians in 1800, and a plaque on the bridge dates the construction to that year.
A little way down from the bridge the railway line crosses the canal and here there is a small plaque and garden commemorating the maquisards who were executed here by the Nazis.

The Siege of Carcassonne was a military engagement which took place from August 1, 1209, to August 15, 1209, during the Albigensian Crusade. It took place in the Languedoc region of southern France at the fortified town of Carcassonne. The Siege was led by Arnaud Amaury as part of the Crusader effort to eliminate Catharism, a Christian sect regarded as heretical, from Southern France. After intense fighting, the siege ended in a negotiated surrender, and the inhabitants were allowed to leave free of harm.
