Entrance into Fort St. Andre.  A lovely place to get all murderfied.

             West tower of Fort St. Andre.  I wish the pictures of this thing gave a better sense of  scale and mass.  You get a little dizzy just standing next to it.



Yesterday we jumped the bus over to Villeneuve and mooched around Fort St. Andre and the Chartreuse monastery.  Rainy as hell, but it made for some fun running between fortifications to keep dry.

In a couple of hours Francois is picking us up for our trip to Carcassonne!  I plan on posting a few billion pics after we get back from that!
