I am very excited about Montpellier! We set off on Friday morning! We visit Carcassonne first, and spend Friday night there, and then on Saturday we go to Montpellier where we will spend the rest of our trip.
I have been doing some research into Montpellier and Carcassonne, and this is what I have found out:
Montpellier:
- is the fastest growing city in the country over the last 25 years
- is the capital of the Languedoc-Roussillon region and also the Hérault department
- is twinned with nine different cities all over the world, from Barcelona to Rio de Janeiro
- has some beautifully painted trams
Aren't they gorgeous? I can't wait to see them for real when we get to Montpellier.
Carcassonne:
- is a fortified town in the Aude department of France
- has a huge amount of history surrounding it
- has been used in the past as the start or the finish of stages in the Tour de France
- is twinned with the town of Eggenfelden in Germany
- judging by the photo, is incredibly beautiful
I can't wait to go to France now and see these amazing places!
5 days to go now!
Merci de lire!
