Vive La Difference & Le Bon Viveur


Friday 14th and our first full day in France!
We were staying in Carcassonne (betwen Narbonne and Toulouse and on the Canal du Midi). We took the bikes just outside to Trebes and cycled up and down the canal. It was very, very hot! Bridges, aquaducts and some beautiful locks! A large barge called Le Bon Viveur was navigating at the same time - populated by six representatives of the Grey Pound!
We went into bars and saw the first impact of the smoking law which came into force in January and seemed (we thought then) to be effective (Even Mr Le Patron was outside with his fag!) Later we ate a great value typical meal and decided the South of France in March was a great idea!

On Saturday morning we got up for our journey to the Medoc and it was pouring with rain!
