Names (left to right): Suzy and Tim Deger
Where photo taken: Carcassonne, France
Best meal: Les Burgers d'Arcadie - A wonderful small but elegant stop on the road to the castle, serving traditional regional French food. The chef, Philippe Bodin, came out after every course to make sure we were satisfied, and the staff came out to thank us and shake hands as we were leaving.
Best deal: Local food, wines, and cheeses are delicious and inexpensive. Try the local stew called Cassoulet and Minervois wines
Best time to go: We went in May when the temperatures and number of tourists were lower. There are medieval festivals during high season in July and August.
Best travel tip: The surrounding area has several impressive castles that were holdouts of the Cathar "heretics" during the Albigensian Crusades of the early thirteenth centure. Rent a car to visit these sites.

Paper Trails Guidelines
- Take a Denver Post Travel section with you on your next trip and get someone to take a photo of you (no big groups, please) with the section. Use your imagination, but get serious about sharing your best information with our readers. The more creative the photo and the better the tips, the more likely it will be used in the published newspaper.
Register, log in & upload your photo on this page and remember to include: Who? (identify the people in the photo, from left to right); Where? (where the photo was taken); Best meal; Best deal; Best time to go; Best travel tip.
You are limited to one photo upload per trip. . We prefer HiRes (3 megapixel or larger resolution) JPEG images, and the travel editor will contact you if your image will be used in the published newspaper.
