Re: NEWBIE LOOKING FOR ADVICE
Hi Cathy
I would certainly take up Roger's kind offer.
He has lived in France for many years and has a french wife (sorry Bretonne).
It helps if someone can show you the relevant bits and answer questions - both positive and negative - then that makes your visit more productive.
Carcassonne is not large - probably about the size of Kilmarnock.

Having a friend (french) fluent in the language and french systems helped us greatly.
regards
Cyrian

We'll be happy to see you!
My wife Annaïck (bretonne) works at Hotel de la Cité so she's a real expert!
