Lunch and beyond in Carcassonne

Following our morning of exploring and climbing and descending stairs in the Château and ramparts we were in need of sustenance. We went in search of a suitable restaurant for lunch and found one, Le Jardin du Carcasses. We had a wonderful three course fixed price lunch on the terrace. It was a really excellent meal, and very reasonably priced. We started with a tomato salad with ham. Ian and Brigitte had steak for main and I had grilled octopus, and we finished with ice-cream, chocolate mousse and crème brûlée. We then spent a bit more time meandering around the narrow streets.

We still had a bit of time before the bus would pick us up, so we sat in the shade to just relax for a while. We then went to a café to have a drink before heading back to the meeting point to catch the return bus to Toulouse.Read more
