Yesterday we were up early and in a taxi on our way to the airport
we then boarded a flight from Rome Italy to Toulouse France but that wasn't the end of our
travel day we then had to get a tram and another train across the French countryside to arrive here
in this stunning medieval hill town of Carcassonne
so we came to the south of France because we have something lined up in a couple of weeks
in this area and after a few google searches we landed upon Carcassonne
it is a beautiful medieval town that we get to explore today and we've decided
to start the day the French way coffee and pastries so once we eat these we've
just got to cross this awesome old bridge and we'll be inside of the medieval city
how cute is this town i cannot believe that we've never heard of this before
it's got all these really old buildings with the shutters and the old-style lamps
and then the view of the castle what the heck
that town to come up to the castle was so freaking cute it's honestly like it's
been plucked out of a disney movie or something before we even started this
trip i wanted to go and see castles and this has just ruined me for any other castle this
is insane i cannot believe we didn't know about this town this is so cool
i freaking love this place
so we have made our way to the basilica that's within the city walls and it is just beautiful
it's massive it's got this combination of like roman and gothic architecture and these amazing
stained windows that even look cool from the outside so on the inside i can't even
imagine it's also got all of these really cool gargoyles on it and according to this drawing
right here there should be a snail one which looks kind of ridiculous so i want to find it
we're inside the basilica now and the stained windows are
amazing there's all these candelabras and what looks like an organ it is so beautiful
that was so cool that you got to go inside it's just amazing how tall the ceiling is in
the gothic architecture of all leaning over the candelabras look so cute and the stained glass
windows blew my mind then when the light shines through you could see all the reflections of it
so cool not often i go into a church or a basilica or at the cathedral and i like it but
that was insane that was the best building i think i've been inside ever like we've been inside the
Taj Mahal and this was cooler to me it looks cool from the outside but the inside is just insane
i don't know if that time was lying to me or if they're just gone but there's no snail
gargoyles and i'm really disappointed about it because they look so silly
we're now just walking around the ramparts between the two massive walls
that are here and it's some of the coolest medieval views i've ever seen in my life
yep that has definitely ruined me for any other castle i honestly can't believe it's so bloody
cute in there every single bit of it looks like it's been plucked out of a Disney movie and we
just found out that apparently there's 47 people that still live in there like their residential
address is inside the castle wall should be like oh yeah just post it to me at the medieval city
i love it we're gonna go grab some food and have a bit of a picnic to finish the day
we didn't realise that because it's a Sunday a lot of the shops either seem
to be shut for the last half of the day or shut during the middle part of the day
luckily there was one shop open so we're having a little kebab picnic today
that again was yum as all the food is since we've got to Europe that was delicious and
i've had such a good day in Carcassonne i still can't believe that we've never
heard of this place before i loved it really really cool but we're going to
head back to the hotel now and rest up we've got a train tomorrow to a new city
did you know that it was so cool
pardon me
