Spent a few days in the south-west of France, in the village of Carcassonne, A lovely old city, great for some photo opportunities. Since a short time I only carry compact cameras, these were taken with the RX100 and GR. The weather was not great so it is a mix of colour and BW, hope you like one or two.

We went there on 21st June a couple of years ago for the midsummer music festival, and there was a stiff breeze blowing through the gates of the old city. Everybody is squinting in the pictures I took there.

I liked Carcassonne. I know the restoration of the ruins isn't particularly authentic (all those towers and fortifications are more Walt Disney than mediaeval France) but it has a great atmosphere and the surrounding countryside is very beautiful.

That's a nice set of photos - thanks for posting.
