For some reason, I didn't see Peter's post (news server sometimes drops
posts), but we will be making an overnight stop in Carcassonne on the way from
the Perigord region. I've been warned about how touristy it is, but the
photographs of the medieval city look so lovely, we're willing to risk it.

Hmmm, I see what you mean. We'll definitely consider Cassis, although
it's a bit further than I'd planned to go on this trip, anyway. There's
really so much I wish we could fit in this vacation, but our itinerary is
probably ambitious enough as it is, especially for two first-timers. :-/
