Car-free in Carcassonne
We are currently living as expats in the south of France, in the medieval hilltop city of Carcassonne. Without a car. We decided to try the French lifestyle and are getting around on foot and by bikes and trains instead of driving everywhere. More accurately, we are trying out a life of picking up our fresh baguettes and croissants in the morning by walking to the local épicierie. Biking to the local open air marché to fill up our panniers with farm fresh lettuce and homemade cheese every Saturday. It is surprisingly easy. Not surprisingly, we are getting a lot of daily exercise—which is quite necessary, given that French food is so fresh and delicious.
