Carcassone

So I decided to add some details to my trips as to what I did, etc. Some of my friends and I decided to go on a day trip to Carcassone. We left Saturday at the break of dawn (at least it felt like it aka around 6 AM which means getting up at 5ish to catch the tram to the train station). We got into the city around 10/11. We got maps and made our way to the actual Cité de Carcassone. It was amazing! The Cité itself is pretty big. Inside, it’s like a mini-city. A bunch of stores, restaurants, etc, for all your tourist-y needs! We walked all around the Cité (which was free-thank you French student ID) and got to see some pretty amazing views of the whole city. After we finished we got sandwiches from one of the carts around the Cité. We then went to the actual centre ville (downtown) area, which pretty much consisted of churches, old buildings, etc. We finished off with dinner in this cute restaurant close to the train station and a pretty good pizza. Overall, Carcassonne was a nice place to visit. Definitely a nice day trip.
