Holiday - Along the Canal du Midi

Caunes Minervois is situated fairly near to Carcassone and the Canal du Midi runs along this area. We visited the canal between Carcassone and Homps.

Its a good easy walk as its flat and whilst pretty boring looking for the most, the locks and some of the boats make up for it. See what I mean? This is 3 different spots along the canal all look pretty much alike

This day we got caught in a thunderstorm, boy did we get wet!! Look lovely at this point

This is one of the sets of locks, its a triple one, fascinating to watch

We visited Le Redorte which is one of the stops along the canal - nice coffee

Then Homps which has a marina

Carcassone was a 45 minute walk from the locks in the first photos

Not sure I fancy a boating holiday but plenty of people seem to do it.  I guess a much more leisurely pace, though we did see some funny maneuvers! I'll say nothing about women drivers...........
