Beautiful little road with a superb view. I drove it uphill and it's absolutely fantastic too!!

"Carcassonne, located in southern France between Montpellier and Toulouse, was founded in the 6th century BC by Iberian Celts. The Romans transformed the hill into a fort by building a defensive wall. In the 5th century, the Visigoths conquered the city, followed by the Arabs in the 8th century, who were expelled by Pepin the Short in 759. In the 12th century, Count Trencavel built a castle on top of the Roman city wall at the highest point of the hill. Carcassonne became a central element in the defense system on France's border with Aragon. In the mid-13th century, the dilapidated wall was protected by a second, outer city wall." This is how the website for the television series "Treasures of the World – Heritage of Humanity" describes the city, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. ...

Boats and barges for a long stay... Bucolic

a good way to stock up

Pretty Languedoc village with a superb wine cellar on the edge of the departmental road

Here you have a beautiful view of the town of Roubia. A few barges are also visible on its banks. You have access to the small town by taking a stone bridge.

Superb site on the banks of the Canal du Midi

Pretty village along the Canal du Midi. Don't miss the old post box...
