Carcassonne!





Carcassonne is a large city we may choose to visit as part of the workshop or on our day off. We can travel there on a super fast train. Take a tour through the ancient walled city that is said to have inspired Walt Disney and/or hunt for the perfect shoes in the shopping district. Chocolate crepes anyone?

I took these pictures just for Jamie. She has a thing for gargoyles and anything extra creepy or spooky. Some of these fellows spout water from their mouths during a rain storm.

Alet-Les-Bains

We will visit different little villages everyday. This is Alet-Les-Bains a half hour drive from Limoux. Look! No tourists - at all - as will be the case with most of the places we explore.

The greeting party - first night!







On my last trip we arrived on the eve of a magical celebration! Look out for the masked men from a secret society! If they touch you with their wand you must freeze and be well showered with confetti. I can't be sure that we will be treated to this festival, but I know there are many wonderful surprises ahead for us. Jamie and I can't wait to share them with you.
