Day 9 (already!): Leisurely start to the day with a lazy breakfast in our gorgeous apartment before a stroll around Carcassonne and up to La Cité, Carcassonne's medieval fortress.
Most of the new town where we're staying was closed (being a Monday, good ol' France) but La Cité was absolutely heaving with tourists (urgh!) After a brief exploration we decided that lots of tourists plus cloud filled skies = time for lunch. After a little siesta (we ARE practically in Spain) we made our way back up into La Cité in time for glorious sunshine and last entry into the Chateau!
The Chateau de Carcassonne was beautiful (and relatively calm!) in the late afternoon sun as we took our brief tour around the ramparts. We made the most of the warmth by heading to a wine bar in the city walls, run by a couple of sommeliers, and had some wine and charcuterie as the sun went down. A visit to a local brasserie for pizza (Jen) and cassoulet (Ben) finished off another fantastic day.
Tomorrow we're picking up mountain bikes and heading to Lac Cavayere, 12km away to (hopefully) chill on the beach and work off some cheese and wine!
