Carcassonne

Thursday July 3

Today we left Luc’s place. We went for a quick swim in his pool and spa. We cleaned the house up and packed the car. We hopped into the car and went to the boulangerie to eat. We drove for a few hours and then stopped at a castle (Carcassonne). It had two walls – an inner wall and an outer wall. We climbed up the stairs of the inner wall and we saw where they shot arrows (picture). They also had holes in the bottom of the wall to shoot through. We looked around in the castle. Inside the walls of the castle there were shops. I bought a toy. It was a girl. She is the Princess of Darkness. Ben bought a bowman (blue). It was very windy (picture). Then we went to find Yves’ house in Arreau.

Yves’ house looks very old. It has 1 bedroom with 3 beds. Downstairs there is one shower, a kitchen and dining table and the fridge and stove. He has another section that is not finished. It looks a bit like it was a stable for animals (picture).
