Carcassone

Left the Pyrenees for the spectacular walled city of Carcassone, which is the biggest and most well preserved in France. It has a castle and cathedral within the double walled defenses and a maze of old streets and squares which are now turned into cafes and shops of course. Had a very nice dinner of regional specialities (duck for Rosemary and casoulet for me) and as it was dusk plenty of photos. We stopped on the car park with 20 other vans where we had also watched England get thrashed by Germany 4-1 earlier in the afternoon. A thunderstorm was circling below the town during the match - surely an omen.
