Photos In Carcassone

Yesterday, I went on a tour with the entire CIEE group to Carcassone. This is an ancient castle surrounded my enormous, ancient walls. Within the walls, there is a town of ancient buildings that have been modernized into boutiques and whatntot. Outside of the walls is just you're normal, everyday city and that's bizarre to me. Here are some pictures:

We took a subway and a  walk to get to the train station

Here is where Carcassone is

Every other picture is from inside of the walls:
