France 🇫🇷, Carcassonne Citadel 🏰, the best oysters 🦪 on the French coast, Collioure 🏰 - fairy-tale villages, ancient towns, and an incredible sunset in a wonderful location on the border between Spain and France. 🌅
🦪 - OYSTER AND SNAIL FARM 🐌 🍷 - yes, yes, I'll take you to the BEST place, you've never tasted such oysters anywhere, 🤫 and most importantly, you'll be surprised by the price, which is only 1€ per piece. 🤩 (less than an espresso ☕️);
⚔️ - CARCASSONNE CITADEL – this is a true masterpiece of military architecture, whose defensive structures/walls were unrivaled throughout Europe in their time, with a history spanning about 2500 years. We will take a tour of the walls of this beautiful citadel, immerse ourselves in the history of local culture, and also have lunch at a restaurant serving traditional local cuisine. We'll learn about the only woman who managed to repel an attack by invaders and prevent the extermination of the entire settlement.
🏰 - ANCIENT CASTLES located in the picturesque town on the French coast - Collioure.
Bonus locations, if time allows:
✅ Cadaqués — city of artists 👩🏼🎨 and poets;
✅ Cap de Creus — the easternmost point of Spain, where a lighthouse is located.

There's a cafeteria at the meeting point where you can have breakfast before departure. There's also a shop where you can buy water and snacks.
I recommend arriving 10-15 minutes early.
I know it's early, but the trip is mega packed and awesome! It's a shame to waste precious time — better to rest for 2.5 hours in the morning on the road. Plus, we'll be able to visit additional locations.
🔸 Weather-appropriate and comfortable clothing, comfortable shoes 👟 (we'll take lots of cool photos 📸); 🔸 Breakfast 🥗 (breakfast – sandwiches 🥪, fruits 🍇, sweets 🍫 - something for the road);
🔸 At least 1.5 liters of water-thermos with tea, coffee;
🔸 Sunscreen;
