Hello from Carcassonne in south western France, a town that's easily the most interesting that I've seen in France.

This episode will explain why - and will introduce you to my new hero - Eugene Viollet Le Duc - the man who changed the face of France.

Read a whole lot more about my thoughts on Carcassonne on the blog here. Help me make better podcasts by supporting on Patreon here. And find more about the T-Shirts we mentioned here.
