France πŸ‡«πŸ‡·, Carcassonne Citadel 🏰, the best oysters πŸ¦ͺ 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. πŸŒ…


What's the plan?

πŸ¦ͺ - 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 β˜•οΈ);

βš”οΈ - 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:

βœ… CadaquΓ©s β€” city of artists πŸ‘©πŸΌβ€πŸŽ¨ and poets;

βœ… Cap de Creus β€” 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 β€” better to rest for 2.5 hours in the morning on the road. Plus, we'll be able to visit additional locations.
