So Mrs Fogg’s Birthday meal in La Barbacane at Hotel de la Cite in Carcassonne, the preude, chilling and reading

And our terrace (on the second floor to the right)

Followed by a 6 course tasting menu accompanied by 6 wines and then dessert with a birthday candle

A midnight meander around Carcassonne And the Hotel de La Cite, looking rather quiet and serene

With the cathedral next door
