Carcassonne is a place of contrast betwwen the plain and the mountain.

City of history and légend, where the capricious river Aude flows and the silent Canal du Midi appeases.

Carcassonne is burnt by the sun and shaked-up by the wind.

The City of Carcassonne is registered by the Unesco, in their list of a humanity's world héritage . 

4ème ville de France, 2ème ville universitaire, ville d'architecture, d'art et d'histoire, dédiée à l'Aéronautique, voici quelques images de Toulouse. 

When you cross the bridge and the river Aude , you see another town  , the Bastide St Louis.

Today , it is the modern town, and it is the Prefecture of the departement of the Aude , with 43 000 inhabitants .

Narbonne has got the label " City of Art and History" on november 2006 ;This explains the importance of its architecture and history . In the past , it was the principal city in the Narbonnaise's province.

Now it's a beautiful city with its gothic cathedral, canal de la Robine, Archbishop's Palace, Archeologic museum, the Horreum , and the small market town on the left's bank.
