Toulousse Market

Monday, November 1, 2010

We are on our way to Paris now and should arrive by midnight. In the morning we fly home to Toronto.
 Our plan had been to spend the day in Carcassonne and head out to Toulouse in the afternoon, but we'd seen all we wanted so we set out early and then spent a few hours in Toulouse.

We didn't see any major attractions, or anything really nice for that matter other than another great bike sharing program.

We did find a market on a side street that kept us busy for awhile, but with the exception of one lady who was selling homemade soap and a guy selling local honey it was all made in China crap that you will find in any city.

Carcassonne, France. The Old City

Sunday, October 31, 2010

Happy Halloween!

We got up early and went for breakfast. It was going to be a full day of walking and I didn't want to get tired too soon so we called a taxi to take us to the old town.

Carcassonne, is famous for being the best surviving example of a medieval military city in Europe. The city was next on the hit list for the Christian Crusaders after the sacking of Beziers. 

Carcassonne, France Arrival

Today we are taking it easy because tomorrow will be a full day of walking in the old city of Carcassonne. We  took a short walk around to scout out where we want to shoot tomorrow to get the wide shots of the old city.
