Carcassone

(By Robert)
Yesterday, we warmed up for serious tourism by visiting the quiet Abbey of St. Hillaire (no, nothing hilarious there...), and then spent most of the day in Carcassone - a classic medieval walled city. Here is the cloister of the Abbey with two perfectly behaved siblings:
The cave in the monastery where legend says the first champagne like drink was invented:
And here are a few pictures from Carcassone:

The fairy tale castle city from a distance:


Entering the inner castle at a run:
The ramparts:

A defender with a (imaginary) bow and arrow on the ramparts:

The same defender being silly on a guard tower:

Playing tag in the castle courtyard:
