Cezanne, Aix and Carcassonne

                                 Cezanne, Aix and Carcassonne



I first visited the medieval Cite of Carcassonne many years ago, aged 29 or 30. I was driving through France with a friend, on the way to visit other friends who were holidaying close to Perpignan near the eastern Spanish border. Our route took us past Carcassonne and, on catching sight of the Cite’s amazing profile, we diverted for a short visit.
