S01E02 Carcassone: The Realm of the Owl

Nestled north of the Pyrenees lies the historic city of Carcassonne, a stone stronghold that has withstood countless sieges, faced the harshness of the Spanish Inquisition, and flourished as a hub of wealth during the salt trade centuries ago. In the present day, it serves as a safeguarded haven and a birdwatcher's dream, teeming with vibrant avocets, striking flamingos, and a variety of other species.
