Carcassonne is definitely worth a visit.

 

[Wanders from Glos]

they were selling bullets ,helmets etc found on the beaches from the dead soldiers

Yeah I agree, that's distasteful.

 

[Northernraider]

Yeah I agree, that's distasteful.

Even dachau found a way round it

Free entry to museum but they charge for parking and there's literally a hundred or so cars a day and dozens of coaches.

Sad really

On to Rocamadour tomorrow….

Great thread Garry
I have hundreds of pieces of the Berlin wall mounted on timber bases! All genuine from my local demolition site!
All these genuine bullets and artefacts they dig up and sell really do make me laugh.
So much of the Berlin wall has been sold that it would have stretched to Moscow!
Anyway, keep on posting cos it's a very good read. Good luck

Enjoy it’s a stunning place.

Hi Garry, great thread, Chris and I were really moved after reading about the "Oradour-sur-Glane Massacre on the 10th June 1944, such a dreadful waste of life.
On a different note, last night we went to our local theatre were John Nichol gave a talk about the Unknown Warrior and how the Reverend David Railton came up with the scenario to remember those who died but were never identified.
An amazing story and all achieved in less than two yrs.

I have no idea as to where I’m going next but I want to go to Carcasonne but in no hurry whatsoever so if anyone can suggest anything old interesting and architectural culture is good for me, not into big cities but will park outside and go in if there’s something great to see…

I m sure you know but this may be of interest. https://www.motorhomefun.co.uk/forum/journals/categories/continental-tours.77/map Just click on a place for some form of blog on it.
If you havent been to Carcasonne then you have to go and (IMO) you then dont have to return. From what I remember it may be a hard day for you on the cobbled tight streets heaving with tourists. Great from the outside.
For Sarlat you may want to consider Grolejac. Its about 11kms into Sarlat on a very smooth voie verte crossing the Dordogne. https://www.motorhomefun.co.uk/forum/journals/grolejac-to-sarlat.138/ I m unsure of your range though
Mirepoix is very nice. https://www.motorhomefun.co.uk/forum/journals/grolejac-to-sarlat.138/ with a flat short stroll into very nice town (and voie verte but a tad boring to start with)

Enjoy

nice drive down today in the lovely warm sun, no diversions or sat-nav dramas…

Had a bit of a walk around to sus the place out for going in or down as it may be because I’m parked at the top.. the castle viewing point had one of those metal caged turnstiles so I couldn’t get in to the viewing points but I did see a ticket machine and something about €15 on it so I may have dodged that one, it was easily rectified by walking up the road a bit…

There is thing like a funicular that goes down in two stages from what I can see and cost €4 or 6 euros each.. I think so we’ll wiz down tomorrow and have a nosey at all the lovely tourist stuff and from the look of it will take about 1/2 hour but I’m sure we’ll get plenty of nice pictures to take…

Here’s a few to get on with, no dogs but I do have a Brazilian….

It wasn’t a serious question, I was just carrying on your Cockney rhyming slang for Rocamador.

Don't know what's up with him , let him out at midnight before bed so he's every chance to go but the last week he's been a wee bugger. He's only 6 so can't be his age , think he spends more time mooching outside than doing what he's meant to. I know it's him cause he does poo henge

i have to acompany our cockerpoo out at night to ensure he does his bits or he just wanders around sniffing and checking the vegitation!!
If i escort him he goes out does his stuff and straight back in.

At least Oradour is not fake like Lascaux caves

Yes but it's done to preserve the original cave paintings. Still worth a visit. We stopped off on our way back from Andalusia in the Spring.

I fully understand why but with respect I disagree... see the original or not bother. Just look at a book, or youtube.
