Friday France Photo: Cat in Carcassonne
2008-05-16 15:57:00 “Lucky Boy” (that’s not very French!) is probably one of the most chill cats ever. He’s the cute mascot of the B&B in Carcassonne, Aux Anges Gardiens chez Patricia and Andre where we stayed not long ago. He IS lucky to live where he does and in fact, he is so lucky, he rubbed a ...

Awesome B&B in Carcassonne: Aux Anges Gardiens
2008-04-14 18:59:00 It just occurred to me that the bed and breakfast where we stayed in Carcassonne (southwest France) recently, was not only the first B&B we’ve stayed in in France, but it was also a real one, in the sense that you really are staying in someone’s house. In this case, you’re chez Patricia and Andre ...

Microsoft confirms downloadable Xbox games for Anniversary
2007-11-13 22:14:00 To mark the fifth anniversary of the Xbox Live service, Microsoft will be offering Carcassonne (Hexic 2 in Korea) free to all subscribers for 48 hours starting at 12:01 a.m. EST on Nov. 15th (and presumably nothing to the peeps who already plunked down for the virtual board game), along with 500 Microsoft Points to the ten folks who've been on board since 2002 -- see kids, early adoption does pay off! In addition, Microsoft has confirmed earlier reports that 'Xbox Originals' will be made available for download starting Dec. 4th as part of the Fall Update (the update's additional features have yet to be revealed). Each game can be purchased and downloaded for 1200 points ($15).In its press release, Microsoft explicitly named Halo, Psychonauts, Crimson Skies and Fable as titles for the Xbox Originals initiative, but did not confirm exactly which games will serve as the jumpoff: "This new service will launch with an array of blockbuster titles spanning the most popular genres from ...

Carcassonne Expansion Makes Kings and Barons of Players
2007-10-04 23:16:00 A new expansion for Xbox Arcade favorite Carcassonne turns players into Kings and Barons, provided they do enough building.The King and Robber Baron icons are bonuses handed out to players build the largest city and the longest road. The icon sits next to your gamertag for as long as you hold the title. The player in possession of the King icon at the end of the game gets one extra point for each completed city, while the player with the Baron icon gets one extra point for each completed road.The expansion also includes five new Town construction pieces, giving you a few more building options. Sounds like The King & Baron expansion would be well worth the 300 point price tag.Source: Game|Life Online Games Carcassonne Xbox XBLA expansion King Console+gaming

Carcassonne Citadel
2007-07-27 21:22:00 With only being 30km away from Carcassonne Citadel it is a must place to go. I was happy to go as long as we could check out a wildlife site not far from the gite, at a place called Rennes-les-Bains . There is a river running through the small village, which is also home to a Spa.The river was full of wildflowers,butterflies and of course dragonflies. After a quick mooch it was time to head off the Carcassonne. As you approach the city you are greeted with an amazing site of the citadel, it is a real WOW view and one I'm sure people don't tire from. The towers and turrets are almost fairytale like in appearance and are certainly impressive. You can walk around the battlements and get some great views of the surrounding country side.The inside is another matter, it is jammed packed with souvenir shops, restaurants and other shops that bore the pants off me. But as I had agreed to go as long, so I could go to the wildlife area, I bore the boredom stoically. I did however enjoy a Cas...

Part Four - Cassoulet in Carcassonne (and a heavy evening)
2007-03-12 15:10:00 I am aware that cassoulet appears to enjoy a disproportionate amount of attention within these ‘pages’. At the last count I have written about it three times and thus this particular musing brings the total up to four, which, at first glance, borders on the obsessive. I’m not going to let it bother me though – it is such a fabulously simple and tasty dish that perfectly encapsulates everything that I love about cooking: the alchemic nature of turning a pile of nothing special into a hearty meal of something very special indeed. Haute cuisine is all very well but even in the hands of the most incompetent of chefs it is quite hard to make foie gras and truffles taste bad. The true skill lies in turning the mundane into the sublime and this is something the French have perfected over centuries of practice and refinement, a fact they are unashamedly proud of and one that has sadly been lost in England. Wherever you go in France (or Italy, for that matter) the regional specialtie...
