Carcassonne is a fantastic example of a restored walled city in Southern France's Languadoc region. You can see it rising above the valley from the highway. It's worth a visit--as are the other Cathar Castles in the vicinity.

Loire Valley (3 pictures)
Good wine and food, can be a little pricy and touristy.

There is a timeless quality of the Dordogne river valley that is best expressed as pure lightness against the dark--and I think these black and white photos express that quality as best as their photographer is able.

A 2000 year-old aqueduct is a prime tourist destination, if only for a half hour or so.
