I arrived in the magical city of Carcassonne, and moored just outside of the city in a very quiet and somewhat shaded bank-side mooring. Much quieter than the city, and easy access. The shade is especially welcome!

Carcassonne has the most interesting ‘old city’ which is a walled town perched on the top of a hill just across the river from the new city. The place is restored and in use, partly as a tourist attraction, but it is still a working city.
There are several good wine ‘caves’ where locally produced wines can be sampled (and bought).
This is actually from last fall when I was privileged to share the trip up the Canal du Midi with two sisters (Ruth and Anne ) and Mike (Anne’s Husband). We had a wonderful trip, and shared in some memorable experiences, including sampling some of France’s most famous product.
