Carcassonne

The group has been on the road all day long. It was a long journey, but we are excited to explore what the South of France has to offer.

We made one stop today in Carcassonne on our way to Nimes. Carcassonne has two distinct parts, a modern town and a medieval area which is totally enclosed by fortress walls.


We ate lunch in the modern section and then wandered the narrow streets of Carcassonne's medieval area later in the afternoon. We did all of this in the pouring rain! The kiddos were troopers. We are hoping for better weather tomorrow.
