We arrive in Le Cite which is the town around the walls of Carcassone.   Carcassone has been inhabited from ancient times and most of the ramparts were constructed in the 12th and 13th century.  We got a room at Hotel Aragon and went inside the walls to have lunch.  We stopped at a restaurant named Maison du Cassoulet.  They were very busy but sat us up outside.  We waited for about 20 minutes and then Lola went in and asked for three glasses of red wine and one of white.  Then about 20 minutes later we got the three glasses of red wine but no white.  Lola went in again and asked for a glass of wine and finally returned with her glass.  We waited another 45 minutes for the waitress to take our order but she never came.  After another 15 minutes we just got up and left and never paid for the wine.  As we left we told several people looking at the menu not to go in as the service was lousy.

 Now we are at Le Mets Dieval and at 3:00 p.m. we finally got a lunch plate.  I had a bean cassoulet with duck and sausage.  It was very good.  Then we walked around the castle and Barbara went back to her room and Susan, Lola and I walked all around the castle on the ramparts.  Lola returned to her room and Susan and I went to see the church Basilique des Saints Nazaire.  While touring the inside of the church a group of four men burst into song and the singing certainly went with the mood of the church.  Everything was beautiful.  They sang two songs and then thanked us for listening and offered a CD for us to buy.
