Jul 2, 2004 - The Magic Kingdom?

On our way West, we visited the town of Carcassone as our stop on the way to the France/Spain coast. Carcassone is an impressive fairy tale medieval fortress, boasting not one but two complete walls, a chateau, and watch towers galore. While the "the cite´" is a bit of a Disneyland type visit, it is impressive nonetheless. It is certainly preserved for tourists and not much of a look at real french life, you would have to be an extreme cultural purist not to at least be impressed.
