France September 18-19 Carcassone

The weather has changed – getting colder and wetter, but the forecast is looking good for the next three days. Regardless of the weather, it was a fun city to visit. The old town, which is a medieval fortress has been well preserved. The town is surrounded by a stone wall and inside is the castle and cathedral, and the original resident and commercial buildings – many of which house restaurants, cafes and shops. In keeping with the medieval theme we saw two attractions housing a house of horror (most likely medieval torture).  No, we did not visit the attractions.
