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.

I made my third visit to Carcassone on the 14 th in part to see the justifiably famous fireworks.
