Carcassonne on Bastille Day, worth it?

I am going to Montpellier on july 13th and was wondering if it was worth the trip to Carcassonne to see the fireworks display the next day. And is it possible to get parking anywhere near the Cite on this day?

The medieval city is quite nice to see whether it is Bastille Day or not. There is a fairly large parking area around the cit茅, but if everyone in town comes to see the fireworks it will fill up way too quickly. If I remember correctly, parking is free there. My recommendation would be to go early in the day (say after lunch), park your vehicle and spend the afternoon there (there are plenty of things to see, little shops, etc.). The local people will not come that early for the fireworks display.

If you decide you don't wish to visit early, but just see the fireworks, there is a nice bridge connecting the new city to the old city (where the medieval city is) and I am pretty sure that the fireworks could be seen very nicely at that point as well.
Have Fun!

the fireworks in Carcasonne are so great!!! it definitely worth it!!!
