The drive to Carcassonne was beautiful…
We loved the little towns perched on hilltops…
Then, as you come around a corner of the highway, you might think you are seeing a mirage, an illusion, but there in the distance on a hill, is an astonishingly huge citadel!
This is the fairy tale walled city of Carcassonne…
This citadel is a real FORTRESS… huge, tough, impenetrable…
Inside was a bit touristy, but some very interesting shops…
An imposing, striking, and dramatic fortress….
Carcassonne is a small city of 50,000 people, about 60 km from the coast of Southern France, and is the largest walled city in France…
