Carcasonne and Limoux, France

Carcassonne             The Fortress of  Carcassonne There are only 50 euros returning flight ticket from London to Carcassonne. Worth visiting it, not only for the cheap flight price but for its culture, cuisine and sports. The place is known since neolithic era (between 10 200 - 2000 BC) especially because of its good place  between  Atlantic Ocean  and  Mediterranean Sea .  The first information of settlement in this area has been dated to around 3500 BC though.  The city was under Celtic, Roman  and French occupation and the original spoken language here is  Occitan  - similar to Catalan dialect.

Of course, people like there to go out for eating. At 7 o'clock in the evening, all restaurants and pizzerias were full. And the food is cheap (cheaper than Luxembourg - 7 euro a meal) and pretty good! Another impressive thing I have found there is Metz loves arts. Everywhere you can see painting...

LEGISLATIONS IN EUROPE AND FRANCE ABOUT RROMA PEOPLE

The vagueness of the term Roma is due to the lack of legal definition established in France as in the Union. Talking about legal racism with inequalities where Roma are the victims. The widespread stereotypes of attitude, for example 77% of respondents in the 27 of EU member countries consider that belonging to the Roma minority is a disadvantage in the society (poll made INSEE, September 2010), is not difficult to quickly drift to discrimination, including from State authorities. Even if they are present in many European countries, Roma have generally the nationality of a Member State (Romania, Bulgaria, Spain, Slovak Republic…). This allows them access to citizenship since the Maastricht Treaty of 1992, and obviously the right to move and reside freely in every country of the EU; the right to have a job, to health, education, and eligibility. ...
