Carcassone, France

There wasn't much to this medieval city, except a long walk uphill to get to the hostel.  I walked the walls of the old town, passed way too many souvenir  shops, and ate some forgettable food.  I stayed in La Cite (the old part of town atop the hill) hoping to get wrapped up in the medieval Renaissance.  It didn't work for me.  Oh well, it was really just a stop over between Spain and The French Riviera.  Maybe I have just seen enough cobbled streets, fortress walls, and stones from the 14th century on this trip.  Time to move on to the next town.  :)
