Estaing

The Estaing village is on the route of the important pilgrim trails to Santiago de Compostela.
The village is dominated by the Chateau of the Estaing family, also dating from the 15th century (currently owned by ex-President of France Valery Giscard d'Estaing). Estaing itself is a very attractive medieval town, with lots of fine medieval / renaissance houses to admire.

Entraygues-sur-Truyère

Entraygues-sur-Truyere is a small, charming medieval village, nestled in the junction of the flowing River Lot and River Truyere.
Vineyards situated on the precipitous slopes above the River Lot and the River Truyere produce red, white and rosé wines that are light and perfumed.
With my friends I visited a wine producer named Jean Marc Viguier.

Abbey of Saint Papoul

Founded during the 8th century, the Benedictine Abbey is closely linked to the figure of Saint Papoul. This evangelist of the Lauragais, a disciple of Saint Sernin, Toulouse's first bishop, was probably martyred in the area.

Saissac

In the heart of the "Montagne Noire" (Black Mountain), to the north-west of Carcassonne, the castle of Saissac stands on its terraces facing an exceptional landscape with the Pyrenees mountains on the horizon.Unfortunately we did'nt see the Pyrenees mountains that day because of the weather.

Carcassonne

The most beautiful fortified French town is Carcassonne.The town is separated into the fortified Cité de Carcassonne and the more expansive lower city, the ville basse.

Narbonne

Narbonne is a village in the southern France in the Languedoc Roussillon region.
In this town there is one of the famous national monument of France : the Narbonne Cathedral St.Just and St.Pasteur. The St-Just and St-Pasteur Cathedral (Narbonne Cathedral) and the neighboring Archbishop' Palace form a unique architectural ensemble.The architecture of the cathedral is Gothic style. It remains unfinished since the laying of the first stone in 1272. The plans required the partial demolition of the town wall, but the town council, fearing English invasion, refused to allow it. This, coupled with wars and epidemics, has left Narbonne Cathedral with only the choir and transept completed.
The town architecture is typique of south of France.
