![]() ![]() The fireworks and illumination at the castle is world class. If you happen to be here in July, don’t miss out on the fireworks on Bastille Day. Some trails around the castle are definitely good for a walk to get away from other tourists. The countryside view adds more agreeable touches to the castle. ![]() You can also find a lot of vine yards around the castle as well as Pyrénées at the background. It doesn’t mean that Carcassonne is not worth a visit, but if I can only recommend one to a foreign tourist, Le Mont Saint-Michel is definitely a go-to. However, I think Le Mont Saint-Michel is more impressive for the architecture and the overall atmosphere. The castle complex is massive, bigger than Le Mont Saint-Michel. The restaurant owner told me about the fact that it’s actually one castle inside a big one, which made sense to me then. After visiting the castle, I was looking for the other. One is the whole castle complex itself, the other is the castle you pay for a visit. Now we are getting back to more regular travel, I would suggest you make The Dali Museum a high priority.Ĭarcassonne was granted two UNESCO World Heritage sites. There are few museums around Europe that offer an experience of this kind. I did pick up a lovely poster for the collection but there wasn’t a lot on offer which was a shame. ![]() The shop was nice but could have had a little more on offer. It was quite exciting to see someone from the other side of the world enjoying the museum like a child enjoys Christmas morning. She has been a Dali fan since high school and this was one of her major stops along her travels. My visit was made more fun after meeting a recently divorced American lady who sold everything up and decided to back pack around Europe. It’s definitely not your conventional journey inside a museum. The crowds were spread out so things didn’t get too claustrophobic and you can go off in pretty much any direction you wish. The museum ticket was 14 Euro’s but this may have changed. The train I got took around 2 hours and cost around 20 Euro’s return. The train from Barcelona doesn’t take too long and is cheap enough. I visited in May 2016 when the weather was beautiful. Well, what else can be said about this sublime museum? Dali designed and set it all up and you can tell as much upon entering and the ensuing adventure within. ![]()
