Day 15 - Carcassone

Today started very well with a short bike ride (about an hour) in the flat roads near the beach in Montpellier, followed by some time in the beach and the first swim of the year. Yeyy it was great to be parked just 100 metres from the beach.

After we had a long drive to Carcassone, with a brake for lunch in McDonalds and some shopping. Shame on us, but after 2 weeks we couldn't resist to mac.

Carcassone has a medieval city wihin the walls of the castle. The biggest and most amazing castle I've been, on top of a small hill with views over the town. Lots of shops with chocolates, sweets, souvenirs and restaurants inside the walls which was a bit of a deception. I was expecting to find more about the history. The town itself, outside of the castle is nothing special. Some nice buildings and an old bridge. We were planning to stay overnight but outside the walls it didn't really appealed to us and  we decided to move on. Searching out aires book we found a nice one, added the coordinates to the gps, drove through some small roads in the middle of vineyards to arrive in a village which wasn't the one we were expecting. Was the gps wrong? Nope! We just added coordinates of the next one.. And completely by accident come to this lovely space right beside the village party!  Time to go and see if they allow us in the party!
