The canal, so windy !

After a good night in a real bed, we leave our kind warmshowers and go first for a small tour in town.

Florence, Erwan, kids, thank you !

Of course, we have to visit the grave of a famous French artist.

And here we go ! For a start, we begin with the greenway along the beach, getting us used to the strong wind.

Then, we leave the Mediterranean sea for inland, toward the canal du midi that we reach at Agde.

The trail isn't as tough as expected by Vincent, but it's still a trail requiring attention to where you put your wheels. There are some XXL roots able to throw you up in the sky !

 We cross the eurovelo 8 road ! ... but our destination is still Toulouse ;-).

While riding it, the canal shows a bit more landscapes, with vines coming back ! We hoped for a weaker wind inland but it's obviously not the case...



We stop in the municipal camping of Capestang and discuss with the town's employee about bike travels.

All this wind is getting you a bit hungry at the end of the day, we almost forgot that our pot isn't so big but could cook and eat everything !







The next day is another day. Well, in fact there is still as much wind, that's hard !



It's harder for all these sick trees that are getting cut down along the canal in several places, forcing us to several detours. It's the occasion for us to get lost in the vines and to push our bikes for the first time since long !

We have a surprise at a lock, decorated with metal statues, sometimes animated.

The wind is draining our energy and pushing us to an unsual b&b : we'll sleep in an old wine cask !

Soon the end of the trip. On one side, we are still travelling since last spring, and on the other side, we feel close to the end, that's a strange feeling.
