It has since been updated for accuracy of links and formatting.<\/em><br \/><br \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019ve been to a few <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/thoughts-on-and-many-pictures-of-spain\/\">walled cities in Spain<\/a> (namely Toledo and Segovia), and I love their charm and historical significance. Nowhere in North America would we see places with such beautiful old dwellings \u2013 that are still lived in and used no less. Most of Europe holds hundreds of years of history in commonplace sights and buildings, but walled cities (for me) take it to a new level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Carcassonne in particular looks like a giant castle (with 53 towers and fortified double walls) perched atop a hill, surrounded by French vineyards. Just the drive in is stunning.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/IMG_5317_11.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"533\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/IMG_5317_11.jpg\" alt=\"view of the surrounding area of Carcassonne France\" class=\"wp-image-2021\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Although the last stages of fortification happened in the 1200\u2019s, Carcassonne took its initial hold around 100 BC. (BC!) It has fallen under numerous rulers and regimes since then, and by the 1800\u2019s it was all but forgotten and had fallen into quite some disrepair. In fact, it was the public uproar in response to a proposal to demolish the city in the mid 1800\u2019s that actually helped transform Carcassonne into the place it is today (and quite inadvertently brought the game into existence a mere thousand or so years later).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So instead of being demolished and forever forgotten, it was restored and preserved as the historical monument that it is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Besides the board game (did I say I love the game yet? Well, I do), Carcassonne is known to be a major filming site for <em>Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves<\/em>, and has wended its way into numerous works of literature and poetry.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/IMG_5327_11.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"533\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/IMG_5327_11.jpg\" alt=\"lunch in Carcassonne\" class=\"wp-image-2022\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Because I made only a short day-trip to Carcassonne, I didn\u2019t have a chance to see it at night, which is apparently quite spectacular. June through August is also a hopping time, with active festivals and over 100 shows (almost 75 of which are free to attend).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So if I had it all to do over again, I might have tried to see a show and stay overnight. But with so much to see in Europe, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/a-week-in-germany-and-my-style-of-travel\/\">I can\u2019t possibly conquer it all<\/a>. Instead, I am thankful for the time I had to wander this beautiful old city and soak in the ambience, and I\u2019ll remember the trip every time I sit down to play the game!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I must confess.
