The town’s fired brick buildings give the Pink City its unforgettable glow. The intact Old Town hides numerous treasures – the Capitole, the great organs of Saint-Sernin Basilica, the Church of the Jacobins and the Pont-Neuf (whose construction took almost 100 years), to name just a few. The city’s restaurants offer all kinds of specialties such as cassoulet, made with the famous Toulouse sausage, foie gras and apple crisp. A delicious fact about the city?

We had rented a small apartment near Carcassonne and spent one glorious week enjoying the sunny days and cool nights of the mountain air. The city nearby has its own medieval history, which was wonderful to explore. My family and I reconnected and had a wonderful French experience. Here is the main castle, taken as we walked around the whole thing, trying to find the door!
