We did a day trip to France today. It was a two hour drive to a town called Carcassonne. Carcassonne is located almost halfway between the Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea. Carcassonne is unique in that there is a fortress on top of the hill and then there is a small city inside the fortress where you can eat, shop or stay. The fortress has a lot of historical significance especially in architecture. It is still in good condition today and you can still walk parts of the ramparts, and we did.
