Carcassonne can be magical for kids if you tune the pacing.

Simple plan

  • Short lices loop for castle‑feeling without stairs.
  • Picnic on the meadows below the west walls.
  • Ice cream stop in the Cité’s central square.

Pack list

  • Sun hats and water
  • Snacks for quick energy
  • A story about knights to set the mood

Note: Keep rampart walks for when everyone has energy — save them, don’t force them.


Stories and stones make a great day.
