Hello, I'm Thomas from the south of France, I started photography about 20 years ago with a diversification in the size of formats and the use of equipment, I try to always progress that's why here I am now on PHOTRIO.



Thanks you.

Welcome Thomas. I am especially interested in making friends who live in beautiful cities.

Aha, quelqu'un de la douce France, et tout prés des Pyrénées en plus, pas trop chaud la bas?
Carcassonne est une vraie perle médiévale, je l'ai visité il-y-a trop longue temps, tôt ou tard j'y reviendrai!
Soyez le bienvenue!

Hehe thanks you merci a vous !
Il fait très chaud a Carcassone et je suis réfugié a Estavar un petit village des Pyrénées tout prêt de l'enclave espagnole de Llivia, espérant y étrenner une woodyman 8x10 et passer mes derniers jours de vacances with the kids.

If you want to visit the médiéval city please don't come in summer..., there are surely verticals to straighten

Nevers play to the game but i know its existence is it interesting?

Thanks again, Thomas.

Yes, it's nice if you're into boardgames and whatnot. It's been ages since I played it - I'm not much of a boardgame person myself, but as they go, this one was pleasant enough. Apart from the name, I never found any clear relationship between the gameplay and your city, though.

The game (and gameplay) was inspired by the city walls. One of the goals in the game is to lay tiles to make cities surrounded by walls that look very similar to this aerial photo:



Even the colour scheme of the game is based on it:



It's an interesting game. I play it with my kids when they're willing. It's easy to learn.

I never noticed that semblance; that's nice. I always assumed they took Carcassonne as the archetypical example of a late-medieval European town and that they just picked it because it's relatively well-known as a tourist destination in the European mainland. It's a nice touch that they actually made the architecture resemble the real town!
