Carcassonne

We had booked into Hotel Le Donjon - a hotel in the old city in a fortified old building with enormously thick walls and wide corridors.
You park outside the city as it is pedestrianized during shopping hours, and walk in past the cathedral, through a small postern gate.

The afternoon was spent wandering around the old city, and around the "poor peoples area" between the two walls ... now just a paved area.
