Carcassonne, France: Inside the Cite Fortress

http://www.TravelsWithSheila.com
The medieval town had narrow, winding streets with interesting shops, old half-timbered houses, inquisition museums, torture chambers, and restaurants (heavy on cassoulet).

You could walk the ramparts, look down at the immense moat which made it a formidable internal fortress, and gawk at the arrow slits along with the different defenses used by the crusaders. On UNESCO's World Heritage Site, Carcassone's Cite is another "don't miss" in France.

When you were walking around those medieval streets did you say to yourself...wow...this city was THRIVING long before the Americas were discovered? That just blows me away!

That's the fun of traveling in Europe. Places actually still standing before Columbus "discovered" America.

Funny when people pronouns other language/words... "Carcasong".. Looks like you had a very interesting travel. My french pal is from Carcasonne, he taught me to pronouns it correctly...  Thanks for the video.
