Carcassonne W/O Tourists

If you get up early enough you avoid the tourists.  CJ was 95% successful this morning having to contend only with the first busload at the grand entrance to the city.  They only buggered up a few pictures.

The cathedral is adjacent to our hotel. It's CJ and the maintenance man in the cathedral.

 

 

He has the entire city to himself until he arrives at the grand entrance where the days first  bus has unloaded a group of tourists still attempting to get organized.

 

 

 

He walks between the inner and outer walls.  Pity the fool who managed to scale the low outer walls to arrive in this killing field.

At the entrance to the Keep, only a lady policeman and local woman impede his picture taking.

 

CJ descends the entrance road from the new city.  It is simply the most amazing example of multiple levels and directions of defense.
