I went last Christmas Eve and had the entire place practically to myself and that was magical.

Would be v interested to know what you thought - I'm afraid I found it far too long and got irritated by the continuity blips (people's clothing inexplicably changing mid-scene). It did, however, paint a very evocative picture of medieval Carcassonne and the Cathars. Can you really see the Pyrenees from your window? Must be amazing to have two such wonderful sights within spitting distance.LittleBrownDoghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09752176955139690523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5257001575767428587.post-87962294229357266062007-09-26T10:18:00.000+02:002007-09-26T10:18:00.000+02:00Oooh!
