Carcassonne


Welcome to Grail Country. Carcassonne is a medieval walled city in the south of France. Although there has been restoration over the centuries, much of what you can see is 12th and 13th century. It was at the heart of the Cathar heresy which was wiped out by the extermination of the Cathars. Dan Brown didn't go there, as far as I can remember, but Kate Mosse (not the model) did in her book Labyrinth.

This is where I parted company with Rat Scabies' dad when we went on our 1982 grail quest.
