Matt’s review of Carcasonne: “I’m surprised Disney hasn’t offered to buy up the entire town and run it.” This very touristy city, known for its town walls, was just plain corny. I was quite happy that we arrived just before dinner and left after breakfast the next morning. The best thing about our visit was the nightime walk between the inner and outer walls. Cool place to visit with small children, but definately worth skipping for grown adults.

And, yes, had we been there when stores were actually open, I would have looked to see if any of them sold the town’s famous board (or is it a card?) game.
