This is Part 2 of my trip along the Canal du Midi courtesy of Le Boat, travelling from Port Cassafieres to Trebes, near Carcassonne. I was joined by my friend Sally - and in this episode, another, familiar, face too. We went up the incredible Fonseranes lock flight and met a lovely dog at a "mini-golf cafe" as well as cruising along some gorgeous French countryside, though the clouds and wind threatened to spoil the trip.
This trip was very kindly laid on as a press event by Le Boat

Note: whilst Le Boat provided the trip, they did not pay me to make the video and they had absolutely no editorial say over the content. Everything I filmed and included was entirely of my own volition.

Love number two in the series, David! Phewww!! That was too close....imagine the travesty of a messy canal wife divorce and the horror of losing Twiggy or Gentian in a canal divorce settlement!
