Toulouse (LFBO) - Carcassonne (LFMK).
Les Minimes district in Toulouse.
Apparently the rain is moving with me, otherwise I can’t explain why I’m still stuck in it after three days. Anyways, in this shot you can (kinda) see the Les Minimes district of Toulouse. This part of the city serves as link between the city center and the entire Haute Garonne region. Its name stems from the Minimes order which was granted a shrine dedicated to Saint Roch in this area during the late 15th century. After its dissolution during the French Revolution market gardeners settled here, who remained the most populous group in Les Minimes until the 1960s.
Alzonne to the west of Carcassonne.
This town dates back to the 9th century when it was first mentioned as a viguerie or administrative court. Its position remains until today - Alzonne is still the administrative center to its canton. Due to its strategic location of Fresquel River and its fertile soil Alzonne was often fought over: First as an outpost against the Albigensians, later as a stronghold during the Wars of Religion, when it was sacked three times in a single war.
