We’re in the Deep South for the weekend where we are attending the wedding of a cousin of mine. We are somewhere between Toulouse, Castre and Carcassonne, in the countryside. It feels remote and wild. It took us 5 1/2 hours to get here.
Everything is different here. The countryside is different. People here are different. They have an accent and strange customs. Some of them speak another language: Occitan. We even saw a couple of bilingual road signs around. They also eat differently: lot of duck product, things like Cassoulet…
It is exciting. We are exploring the Deep South of France.
