We stayed in Toulouse, France for most of our trip. We used it as our base and went off in different directions each day. On our way, we could see the cite of Carcassonne off in the distance and stopped to take a couple of pictures.
Here is a picture of the aerial picture displayed at the rest stop. You can tell why we were so excited to visit this Castle. It is considered the best restoration of a medieval castle in Europe.

The day we went to Carcassonne was sunny and very humid. parked in Le Cite and walked the mile to the castle walls, then up the hill to the castle itself. 
Here we are inside the Carcassonne Castle
We took the audio tour, the speaker hangs around your neck and you push a button which gives you a prerecorded description of what you are seeing. We did the tour in English.
