An Instagrammer's Guide
Calling all Instagrammers. This is the photo tour for you!
to Carcassonne
Join us for a walk through the Ville Basse area of Carcassonne, as we pick up the hidden secrets of photography, and begin to apply them to how you use Instagram.
This tour is ideal for those just starting out with photography and who wish to improve their knowledge and skills.
You'll need to bring a camera or smartphone, and an Instagram account.
Ideal for enthusiastic Instagrammers, wanting to better pictures. Just bring you and your DSLR or smartphone, and your Instagram account, and have fun. Put to one side the Citadel, where you'll find most visitors to Carcassonne, and discover the new town and La Bastide, areas which, for centuries, have been at the centre of commercial, liberal and artisan life. Our journey together moves from the internationally renowned train station, along the UNESCO-awarded Canal du Midi, and into the backstreets of this unique place. Bring your camera - a digital SLR or smartphone - and bring your imagination. Over two hours, we'll move between stunning locations, discussing and trying out photo composition, framing, and the core elements of what it means to take a beautiful photograph. We offer discounts for Seniors and Students, highlighted below. Tours run with between 2 and 8 attendees.
You don't need to bring along an expensive, flashy camera. On this tour the New Town and La Bastide will act as backdrops to discuss, and try out, the core elements of great photography.
Your guide on the New Town and La Bastide Photography Tour is Laurence Patterson, a highly experienced and energetic photographer. He'll work with you to improve your knowledge of photography, and offer opportunities to try things out.
With opportunities to ask questions, share experiences, and discuss themes of photography, this tour is perfect for everything - from enthusiastic beginners to the more confident.
This tour takes place across Carcassonne's New Town. While we'll find opportunities to look up to la Cité, we won't step foot in la Bastide or the Citadel. Our pace is light but those attending should wear comfortable shoes, and expect cobbled, hilly streets. We'll take a 10-minute comfort break, with an opportunity to use toilet facilities, but we advise you bring water.
