Carcassonne - the "Bastide St-Louis"
If you head down into te "new town" - known as the "Bastide St-Louis" you will find this square - good eating here !
The Bastide was created after the the destruction of the "Cité" during the Cathar Crusade (Wars), the old city being abandoned to create a new centre for the Catholic Religion
