More cool places and things. Missing America but loving France.

Carcassonne, France, the largest Medeival Fortress in Europe. Has been preserved and restored to its 13th Century appearance. This city was founded around the 6th century BC, and the current town of Carcassonne in this pic began construction around the 10th Century. This place is surreal.
Outter Walls of Carcassonne at night. This is like the fairy tale kingdom.
A view of Carcassonne from my hotel
Just a cool night shot taken on the streets within the walls around Midnight.
Just a pic taken near Font-De-Gaume, France, where the 14,000 year old cave paintings were.
Pont Du Gard, France. This is an acient Roman Aqueduct built i think in the 6th century BC by the Romans. Its the tallest structure they ever built. For perspective, look at the tiny people walking across the aqueduct.
Gordes, France. Another incredible Medeival city built on the side of a mountain. This picture does not begin to do justice to what it looks like with your own eyes, but its the best shot i took of it. Very cool little town as well and the people were so nice, as they have been this entire trip, everywhere i've gone.
Putting my feet in the Mediterranean Sea on a beach in St Tropez, France. Yes its December and the water was freezing, but there's no way i'm gonna finally make it to the Mediterranean and not get wet.
Driving up the Azur Coast on the way to Cagnes. This is one of many beautiful shots. I'm in Cagnes, now. Cagnes is incredible. More pics later.

Ken,
That place is magical, those shots are simply impressive. Thanks for sharing them, took me away for a little while.
You're right, Gordes is amazing. My husband and I went there in January of this year .. we weren't ready for what we found around the corner.. it was simply breathtaking to see that city on the hill overlooking the valley and hills of provence. Wonderful pictures thank you, takes us back there.
