Carcassonne, first mentioned in the records of Rome in the year 20 BC, is surrounded with many dozens of towers scattered on a double wall over 4,500 feet long, and is very much an active (though medieval) town with banks, stores, homes, schools, restaurants and hotels, for tourists and residents alike.

This photo, and the other two (Carcassone restaurant, late '80s, and mid '90s) show that this restaurant has changed more over a decade, than most of la Cité has changed over the past couple of millennia.
