Hopped on bus for an hour in the afternoon and went to Carcassonne. This place is a mad defensive castle in south France. I bought a little book there to learn more about the place because I was too busy taking pictures during the guided tour to listen to details.
The surrounding walls enclose a castle, basilica, about 90 current residents and tons of buildings converted into tourist shops. Bought a Nutella crepe from a stand in the city, I think I'm hooked.
In the basilica, there was a singing group, which was lucky because they were really good and it was cool to hear the acoustics of the old building. I really want to hear an old organ in action, I bet it's impressive. Unfortunately I can't upload the video because it's over 100MB. Was too tired to pack before leaving for Marseilles in the morning, so I went to bed early and set my alarm for 6 get up and pack.
