One thought on “Carcassonne – Thirteen Photos From Walking Around The Neighborhood”

  1. Hey, I know it’s not even close. But that picture of The Canal du Midi is eerily similar to if you were standing at the corner of Arlington and 1st Street in Reno looking west along the Truckee River. The first big difference being that there is water in the The Canal du Midi! 🙂
