Excurion Trois.

Tuesday September 16th was our third field trip! We visited Carcasonne and Montsegur castles. It was an interesting day. It was a day full of breathtaking views. We wondered about the inside of a castle, which was basically a small village with all kinds of shops and places to eat at, and climbed the side of a mountain to see the remains of an old castle. On our way to Carcasonne (which was a two hour drive) Eric, our professor, told us we were not allowed to sleep on the way. "You Americans tend to fall asleep whenever going for rides," he commented. haha. I'm glad none of us slept or we would have missed out on some amazing views.. Here are some pictures of our day!

These were the views we stopped along on the way.
