Train Platform at Gate de Cracassonne
It was finally time to go back to Toulouse, where I booked a hotel to stay in. It wasn’t that late yet but the sun has already gone down and I wanted to get back there earlier. Dinner was already done so I don’t really need to go anywhere. I started to make my way back to the train station of Carcassonne. It was still a bit of a walk since the citadel wasn’t right by the train station. I still need to pass through town to get there. I was trying to figure out how to get back and tried a shortcut which didn’t seem to bring me anywhere. In fact, it brought me to a rather dark part of the town which I didn’t want to be in.
Gare de Carcassonne
Fortunately, my phone had enough juice in it to tell me where to go. There weren’t that many people anymore considering it is New Year’s Day. I was relieved to be back in the main town of Carcassonne and eventually made it back to the train station. The train station was rather dreary. Considering that it is a major tourist destination, I would have thought it would be bigger here. The platforms weren’t that welcoming either. They were dark but didn’t feel unsafe. I heaved a sigh of relief when the train to Toulouse finally arrived. At least it was much brighter than the train station.
