Photo TidbitsCarcassonne View

By Jim and Emmy Humberd

Each time we visit Carcassonne, in the evening we admire, and take pictures of the floodlit city walls. On the main street through the town, below la Cité, a Mobil gas station closes early in the evening and provides an excellent view of the walled city on the hill. Maybe the best view is from the old bridge over the Aude River, between the la Cité and 'new' Carcassonne. A picture is worth a thousand words, a visit is worth a thousand pictures, the video is priceless.

We have seen at least a 1,000 walled towns and cities in Europe, and if Carcassonne and Dubrovnik, (former) Yugoslavia aren¹t the best two, they are at least two of the very best.
