Le Cite Carcassonne is a fortified city in southern France, the building of which was started in the 1200's. Inside the fortifications is a Castle that housed some important guy. There had been Roman fortifications here earlier, that had been torn down. Today it is Six Flags and a shopping center rolled into one. The ancient buildings inside the walls now are home to all manner of shops and restaurants. There are several 4 star hotels and Michelin Rated restaurants. Jewelry stores, clothes stores, souvenir stores in all these really old buildings. We had breakfast and lunch within the walls.
