Market's and Canal trip

Saturday is market day so we head off for a mouch. The first one is full of fruit and veg, cheese and olives. A fairly large market and very popular with the locals. The next one is more clothes, belts, handbags and odd and sods. It has an African/Moroccan feel to it.
We then head into town for a drink while we decide what to do next.

Decision made we're heading to the canal for a boat trip. We go for the City trip including two locks. A lovely sedate trip with commentary in English. Not too much to see and the view of the Medieval City was from quite a distance but pleasant enough in the sunshine. We arrive at the first lock to be greeted by the lock keeper, no winders and pushing against the lock gates here it's all done electrically with the push of a button . We sail through the lock and immediately turn around and return through the same lock, felt a bit cheated but the leaflet didn't say 2 different locks.

Back to the central plaza for refreshments before shopping for tea and home for a restful evening.

Ye another pleasant day in Carcassonne.もっと詳しく
