On a tour of Europe in 1998, our tour stopped in the town of Carcasonne, France. The town is located completely inside the walls of a castle, a “castle town.” We were told it was the location of where the Robin Hood movie with Kevin Costner was filmed. The guide told us that one part of the unique town was the food, in particular the salads they served inside. He even said they were so beautiful that we needed to make sure to take a picture of them in addition to eating them. And he was right on both accounts, it was an amazingly beautiful and tasty salad inside the castle walls of Carcasonne.
