The Citadel of Carcassonne
Carcassonne (“car-ca-son”) sits in the fertile Languedoc
region. It is a medieval gem, with a complete set of ramparts and a medieval
keep.

Carcassonne is famous for its cassoulet - white beans, sausage and grilled duck leg - cest magnifique!
ALBI
Albi ("Al-bee") was our next stop.
This city has an amazing cathedral made of bricks with a beautiful
French garden.
A very well tended garden inside the Cathedral square
The Albi cathedral sits next
to the Museum de Toulouse Lautrec.
Inside we saw his paintings and many posters made for Paris
entertainment, especially from the Moulin Rouge.
But no cameras allowed in the museum.
