We now had four days to get to our next pre-booked place in the Dordogne region over in the southwest. We decided on two stops of two nights each, the first in Carcassonne, famous for its old walled ‘city’. Actually the rest of the town is not very exciting but the medieval walled bit, heavily restored in the nineteenth century, is a tourist magnet. Like many of the really popular destinations we thought it was too ‘touristy’ for our taste … more like a medieval Disneyland than a real town. But it had some wonderful photo opportunities, all the same.
