Winding up in Carcassonne

Our second day in Carcassonne (the day after cassoulet!), we leave the citadel, watching people set up for pony rides on the lawn outside the walls, and wander through the old town toward the main square.

Crossing the River Aude, we enter the brightly and cheerfully decorated streets of the newer Carcassonne.

We wander into the main square, looking for lunch, and settle in at Maison Bor for foie gras, salad chevre miel, cuisse de canard, and a lemon custard.
