Today was our last full day in Carcassonne, and we had a simple wander along the river Aude, winding our way back to the Cité through walkways and parks.



Today we walked the bailey, the area between the two ramparts, looking at the layers of construction and renovation, modification and restoration.






Then we walked through the heart of the tourist zone before descending through grasses and poppies to cross back to the Bastide for a late lunch.



After lunch Jen and Dave went to the apartment to start organizing for packing (and perhaps sneaking naps), while Mom and Dad walked and window-shopped.
Carcassonne: a great place to visit, truly deserving of its immortalization in board game form.
