We literally bought tickets on Tuesday for a Friday night departure. Only about 3.5 hours away by train, we got into Paris around 10pm and immediately set out to find our place for the weekend.

Sadly, the rains on Saturday and Sunday had other plans, but we did luck out on Monday, when we decided to head to Carcassonne, about a 2 hour train ride away. Carcassonne is basically like two cities…

Continue Reading Avignon: a photo tourSince all most of February has been spent studying for finals, we celebrated the conclusion of exams last Sunday (I’m a bit late with this one) with a daytrip to Avignon. A quick train away, we arrived in the early afternoon to explore. We’d be interested in seeing the Palais des Papes for a while…
