Excursion trois



Carcassonne was absolutely breathtaking.



It is Europe's largest fortified medieval city and very well-preserved.



As we were walking along the semi-steep cobblestone path to get into the city, it almost felt as if I were entering a fairy-tale world.



Cat and I both agreed that this has been our favorite excursion thus far.



The fortification boasts over 50 towers and a double row of fortified walls that stretch for almost two miles.



Once inside the city, we visited another church, the Basilique des Saints Nazaire et Celse.



There were impressive stained glass windows galore in the church.



It was a gothic cathedral, as the windows demonstrate. They end in a point at the top.



It was a beautiful day, albeit a bit windy. And by a bit, I mean a lot.
