Hallo, ich bin Paul und ich habe eine Leidenschaft für Carcassonne während des Zweiten Weltkriegs. Kommen Sie und gehen Sie mit mir durch die Straßen von Carcassonne und reisen Sie in die Vergangenheit. Wir besichtigen die Stadt und halten an Orten, die eine starke Verbindung zum 2. Weltkrieg haben. Die Geschichte wird durch mein Wissen zum Thema und 40 Schwarz-Weiß-Fotos aus den Archiven lebendig.
We both felt this tour was very interesting and informative reminding us of the personal risks and support certain individuals gave to assist France during its time of great need. It gave us a wider insight to the City of Carcassonne and just the castle, worth your time in doing this tour, recommended 👍
Paul certainly knows his stuff. He had lots of information and the photos were an added bonus to add some personal interest. It was a very hot day so Paul made the most of the shade available. He is obviously passionate about this history of carcassonne.
Paul was very knowledgeable, kept everyone engaged, his print outs made storylines super manageable and had a good balance of local and general history. We would definitely recommend!!
Very moving tour, not what you expect to do in Carcassonne but something you should do.
Carcassonne is known for its medieval fortress, while the lower city (la Bastide) is normally outside of the spotlight. Paul grabs that spotlight, carries it across a few centuries, and drops it on several locations in the lower city during the World War II period. For me, it was the perfect complement to the more popular medieval sights - I now feel as if I know a whole other side of Carcassonne that I would have never gotten to experience otherwise. Paul has a very engaging way of transporting you through time, with the use of original pictures and key locations, and introducing powerful stories of ordinary Carcassonnians grappling with big "H" history. This walking tour is clearly a labour of love and Paul's passion for history is infectious. 100% recommend!
