I visited the fortified city of Carcassonne in the south of France last week. French poet Gustave Nadaud’s poem “Carcassonne” apparently influenced Ambrose Bierce’s “An Inhabitant of Carcosa” as the lost city he’s described, which in turned influenced Robert Chambers, LoveCraft and so forth until TD S1 (read this on the TD Wiki).

The city and the castle are impressive! There was an eery and surreal atmosphere, but the plethora of gift shops inside the city took the magic away a bit 😅
