Carcassone: The Castle City


After playing the game Carassonne for so many years, we had to see the city. For those who have played the game, you'll be happy to know that there are no tigers in the fields and the castle city is bigger than two tiles!




One thing worth noting is that despite the sheer coolness of France's medieval city, you can easily see it all in one day. A quick road trip is enough to walk the walled interior, and you don't need to pay to do a tour--there's enough to see walking the cobble-stone streets to last a couple hours of sight-seeing. We stayed a night and saw the city in an hour in the morning. Carcassonne is a good stop off place to see other cities like Toulouse (to the North) or Cannes and Nice (to the East).
