Before I left Canada, I planned out where I would be going and booked hostels up until Carcassonne.  That left 5 days of 'freedom' to go wherever I wanted.  Really, I just couldn't decide where to go.  I still couldn't make up my mind until Carcassonne, where I finally decided to go on to Toulouse, a town about an hour away from Carcassonne.  I neglected to book a bed in the only hostel in town since there were 12 beds available and I didn't think it was necessary.  That ended up screwing me over, and the night before I left Carcassonne I found out that every last bed had been booked.  There was no room available in Toulouse.  Frustrating.  I ended up just going to Paris for convenience.  Trains take a long time to get around the country, but once you're connecting in Paris, everything is close (Thanks 300km/h TGV trains).  
This pretty much sums up my trip: disappointment means going to Paris.  Life is good.
