These are from a week spent with friends who invited me on holiday with them to south western France. I had a lovely time, with pleasantly warm weather, the chance to visit a couple of beaches and the local town of Homps, as well as a day spent at the medieval fortified town of Carcassone. (Yes, the one the game is named after, though copies were not easy to come by, one of the few things the many tourist shops didn't sell.) Though very much aimed at catering to the large numbers of tourists, the narrow, hilly, winding streets and occasional squares did make it surprisingly easy to imagine the medieval town, which I'm sure would have been equally thronging with people and markets.
The site their holiday home is on had a rather dramatic view from the front, a photo just wasn't going to do it justice - click through for a nearly 180 degree view.
