Day 20
CITE VON CARCASSONNE
December 13, 2021 in France ⋅ ☀️ 10 °C
Nach dem Frühstück begebe ich mich Richtung Zentrum Carcassonne um beim Lidl meine Vorräte aufzubessern und danach einen Parkplatz nahe der Innenstadt zu suchen .
Rund um die Cite von Carcassonne sind alle Parkplätze mit Höhenbeschränkung und nach einigem suchen entdecke ich neben dem Kanal du MIDI einen Parkplatz der für Wohnmobile ausgewiesen ist . 2,5 km Fussmarsch Richtung Burg.
Bevor die Besichtigung der Altstadt . In der Burg wollte ich meine Drohne fliegen lassen, das geht allerdings nicht, da im System erscheint das hier Drohnen fliegen nur mit außergewöhnlicher Bewilligung möglich ist . Nach der Stadtbesichtigung erobere ich einheimisches Lokal mit der Spezialität eines Bohneneintopfes mit Schweinefleisch . Danach setze ich mich noch in der Innenstadt in ein nettes Lokal nahe dem Eislaufplatz und trinke einen Kaffee . Im Wohnmobil verbringe ich nun zwei Stunden um den Abend abzuwarten, da ich gerne die Stadt nachts mit Weihnachtsbeleuchtung genießen möchte.
Dann fahre ich wieder hinauf zum See um dort die Nacht in Ruhe auf dem Stellplatz zu verbringen.Read more

Day 4
Carcasonne & La Cité
September 28, 2021 in France ⋅ ☁️ 24 °C
Beautiful narrow streets in the center with small boutiques, a nice walk up to the medieval Cité.
Stunning views of the Pyrennées, and a 90 minute walk through the walls included.
Listen to service staff though, otherwise you will end up with menthol lemonade.

On a different note:
Parking here seems to be cheaper than in most countries.
So don't be afraid to take the garages to leave your car for hours on end.
Choosing the highways or the routes nationale seems to be more of a personal preference decision.
One goes a bit faster, one might take you through cute towns and some nice scenery.Read more

Day 22
Neustadt von Carcassonne
September 26, 2019 in France ⋅ ⛅ 25 °C
Nach der Besichtigung der beeindruckenden mittelalterlichen Festung haben wir auch die Neustadt erkundet. Wir sind ein langes Gässchen entlang geschlendert und auf einem großen Platz gelandet. Wir waren unentschlossen, wo trinken wir jetzt endlich etwas. Aber haben dann doch ein lauschiges Plätzchen gefunden. 2 warme leckere Baguettes haben wir erstanden und die Umgebung genossen.Read more

Day 9
Pic du Midi
July 15, 2017 in France ⋅ ☀️ 26 °C
Bit tough saying au revoke to part of the team & the house today.
Jan & I took Nicky, Madi & Em to the train station via the sunflower fields.
We then drove south & found a Saturday market which was fun, except the food section.
It was up a long way, through beautiful countryside.
We went in an amazing cable car, via an intermediate station, to Pic du Midi, at 9500 feet...
The ride up was spectacular, especially the second section which took you over a gully.
The views were unbelievable....surrounded by jagged Mts in all directions..it was great!!
From there we drove 2.5ish hours to Carcassone, which is basically a walled city....
This too was wonderful ....reminded me inside a little of Rhodes....narrow cobbled streets.
It was a hive of activity with many restaurants & shops.
By the time we left the sun had gone down & it was all lit up.
Another great day....not in til 11pm!Read more

Day 4
La cattedrale di Carcassone
June 4, 2016 in France ⋅ ⛅ 17 °C
Mamma mia che meraviglia di borgo medievale... Meriterebbe di starci tre giorni!
Ogni suo angolo è eccezionale e infatti avrò fatto a dir poco 200 foto.. il tempo poi ci è venuto nettamente incontro, infatti, nonostante le nuvole mattutine che non facevano presagire niente di buono, appena siamo usciti è spuntato un bellissimo sole!Read more

Day 27
Carcassone, yummy lunch and snails
September 30, 2017 in France ⋅ ☁️ 17 °C
Great day in Carcassone, medieval castle with heaps of lolly shops and great food places. Had lunch in a more local restaurant with regional specialties. Vince had the cassoulet while I had the duck. Dinner was snail done in pesto with French bread, salad and cheese. Jess had three snails! Em painstakingly managed one :) Then we sang, David played the didgeridoo, we also listened to Xavier Rudd and fat Freddy' drop. Bit of home :)Read more
