Carccasonne is my choice so far of where to live for 1-3 months when we make it to southern France. But then, there are so, so many great choices!

In reply to Dalene.

Ha ha! Well if liking the board game makes me a nerd, then I’m guilty as charged!
At least I’m in good company… 😉

@James – When were you in Carcassonne? I generally feel quite blessed with all the weather I’ve had in Europe – even in the UK, where the weather is renowned to be mediocre! In fact, I’m beginning to think I should hire out my services as a “good weather provider”. Invite me to your country for good weather!!! 🙂
Minerve looks very interesting…I’ll have to save it for my next trip to Europe though, as my four month sojourn is quickly disappearing…

Carcassonne is indeed a very picturesque place and it looks like you had better weather then when I visited. Strickly speaking there’s a fair bit of artistic licence to the recreation of the 19th century, particularly the conical towers. If you get a chance try visiting Minerve (a Cathar village), which is not too far away.
