For the child in you… or the cultured adult – Carcassonne has over 3km of battlements, 2 enormous town walls and 52 towers, as you meander through it’s streets, you may like to stop off at one of the many museums. There’s the thought provoking Memorial of Former Soldiers, the museum of Chivalry, Arms and Archery, and The Museum of the Middle Ages – allow a good 2 days if you want to allow time for lunch too!

After a morning on your feet, lunch time is when life in Toulouse stops, and there’s a wide variety of restaurants offering something for everyone, it’s tempting to eat in the Place de Capitol, however, it’s a high price to pay for the privilege, when just a short walk away, you can stop at Bar ŕ Pates for a regional speciality as a Plat du Jour with wine for a mere 11 Euros!

True to its name, L’Antico Caffe is Rome’s oldest coffee shop, and one of the most ancient in the world. Dating back to the 18th century, take a trip down memory lane and sip a cappuccino or latte macchiato on one of the marble tables and velvet chairs where Geothe and Casanova once sat.
