Carcassonne

Bastille Day, probably the best firework display in France,  and a visit to the most famous monument between Monte Carlo and Bordeaux, Carcassonne; ostensibly to see the justifiably famous fireworks.  I am planning a new mini series of paintings inside and outside Carcassonne a fabulous city in the largest wine growing region of France, Languedoc-Roussillon.
