I remember going to an exhibit at a gallery of Dante cartoons and other medieval paintings with a Canadian colleague, and she was stunned when I told her what the paintings were saying. When I told her, people couldn't read, if they saw a picture, they had to marry it with what they heard the priest say in church - so the picture tells the story. After she got that point, she was reading the pictures properly and never had so much fun in a gallery before, but would definitely have fun afterwards! History should be fun! Beautiful place Almost makes me wish to renew my passport. Almost...

Yes it's difficult to imagine life in a world with a largely illiterate population or going to mass in latin, but you're right the pictures tell the story and make for a completely different experience. I'm glad you've enjoyed the video and thanks for watching.
Thankyou for the vlog, really interesting. Carcassonne is my nearest town. I live just outside Mirepoix, which was built as a whole in the 13th century and is also a must go to cathar town in the region.

Yes the city serves as the background for many medieval era films. Thanks for the info and for watching.
Pro tip: If you're on a budget in France and don't want to pay for a fenced parking spot, set your GPS to point of interests: cemeteries, or administrations. The City of Carcassonne has both within walking distances, and by law French authorities have to make those free parking zones.
