The last weekend of September, I traveled to a small city called Carcassonne... it has proven to be my favorite city thus far in all of France. Unfortunately, when I visited I didn't have a camera. Last weekend, I was able to return to Carcassonne... this time with camera in tow. Pictures... here we go!
I mentioned in the Nice post that pretty much every city in France has at least one big fountain. Above is the fountain in Toulouse, and below is one of the fountains in Carcassonne
This is the first view that you get of La Cité (the oldest part of a city). Carcassonne is a medieval city, completely surrounded by thick stone walls... basically incredible! The youth hostel that I stayed in is actually within the medieval city. So cool... the rest of this post is just pictures from around the city. It looks awesome, but what makes it even cooler is the fact that this is a completely functional city! People live here within these walls! And work here! Gah! It blows my mind! Anyway... more pics.
And of course the post wouldn't be complete without a blurry self-image with a weird facial expression that i really have no way of explaining...
Until next time... salut.
ps -- points to whoever identifies the title of this post :)
