Yes, an impressive place - despite the tourists! Unfortunately we didn't get to go onto the walls, something in progress up there when we visited - maybe the excuse to return!
I have been wanting to visit here for a couple of years now, I must try to get there this year.
Thanks Barry for bringing back memories from far 1995 when I happened to visit this beautiful town! This fairy tail is still with me and I'm glad you consider Carcassonne one of the biggest attractions in the South of France... Great tips and pics!
"Try and get your travel comapnion to pay!" --Truer words have never been spoken! ;) Looks like you had a good visit...we did too when we visited!
Nice legs... ;) We wanted to visit Carcassonne but ran out of time...we must make sure we go there next time!
This is a place I missed when I was in France. Thanks for the info.
"Try and get your travel companion to pay". . .lol. . .I love it! So many beautiful places in France to explore, so little time. :-)
Some good tips. Will one day stay enough?
It was on my list for last summer but I was too tired to go there after all the km I travelled :(( Hope to improve on this ASAP!
Beautiful place. True most people never go to the modern city, which is a real shame. And the whole of the region is really nice. As for the white legs, that's before you turned lobster red? ;)
