Cheese Shop Window by Sherry Ross  Image: Tucked along a narrow, single-lane cobblestone street in the heart of Carcassonne, a small gourmet shop beckons with the rich aromas of handmade cheeses and briny olives. Within the towering medieval walls, time seems to blur—tourists pause to admire the historic charm while locals move with quiet familiarity, their steps echoing those of shoppers who once strolled these same streets centuries ago. The past lingers here, woven into the stone and the daily rituals of life, where tradition and modern indulgence coexist in the shadow of history.
