Carcassonne - a Top Tourist Attraction

by Radiomom - last update: Jun 21, 2003

We decided after 4 nights in Provence we would head West, to Carcassonne. It was a bit longer drive than anticipated, but when we got there in the late afternoon, we found we practically had the place to ourselves!
Hope you can read this...or maybe not. It's really pretentious stuff about wandering down historic streets with gnats flying past your face....maybe it reads better in French! These signs are posted in several locations.

Pros:"Sort of a one-of-a-kind place"
Cons:"Kinda Disney-like and in-season mobbed with people"
In A Nutshell:"Worth a side-trip, but I wouldn't build a trip around it."

 WOW! what a stunning photo! I don't know if I saw your France photos? I know I saw some of them, but I don't recall this one.
