This is a very pretty town along the canal De midi .. Not quite so pretty in the town Centre but that does not matter as we are here to eat and ride!
We are really enjoying our B&B in this town just minutes from the canal where there are a lot of boats people rent for weeks on end exploring the area.
Today we cycled through a dozen small villages to the north and west of here and each one was on a hilltop! Our legs did not mind and we really enjoyed stopping in these towns and exploring!
One of our favorite villages is St. Felix where we had the most wonderful pastries 11 years ago when we were last here .. And no disappointments this time either! (The cat is for you Wanda!)
On the return we dropped down to the canal and enjoyed a quiet ride along the path into Castelnaudry watching the boats navigate the locks.
Dinner this evening was cassoulet which is duck/sausage/white kidney bean specialty of the region. It was delicious with a Minervois wine .. Also from the region and a place we have stayed .. Great times!
Tomorrow we will ride in a north-east direction and hit some bigger hills and more forest of the Montagne Noir region.
