Locks and tolls
Posted by Gill under: 2008 Travels .
We left Toulouse this am after a good time catching up with the Deverell Family and headed back towards Provence via Carcassonne, mostly on the motorway past Narbonne, Beziers and Montpellier. We were entertained for some time at the Canal near Villemoustaussou watching the canal boats navigate the locks. The actual cruising part along the peaceful tree-lined canals looked very inviting – the locks once mastered would be ok too. We watched a smooth operating crew and another who just managed largely by bumping into other vessels!!
We drove most of the way today on the toll roads – very quick but uses up the euros. Tonight we are in the small town of St Remy de Provence – had a nice wee shop, a look at the church with a notable organ (concerts each Saturday), and had dinner at a pub/bar where I enjoyed the local speciality – lamb and tripe.
One Comment so far...
