Carcassonne




Carcassone - La Cite – The old walled city built in the 12th century – amazing! Over 3.5 million people visit here every year. What’s not so amazing is all the tourist shops selling all that trashy tourist rubbish. I always wonder who buys all that stuff but I suppose someone does to keep the places open. Having said that I bought a tea towel with a map of France on it and we bought the kids an ice cream.

I was having a day where the cost of everything was really getting to me. I mean 3 euros for a can of soft drink ($6 AU). I also found it irritating that we would have to pay to go into certain areas of the Old Cite. So we saved that one for another day.
