After supper the night before Catherine, Bruce and Barb walked into the little village to check it out. Cath took the photo below of a house close to the canal that had a sundial on it.

We had a peaceful night’s rest at our mooring spot just past the bridge at Roubia. We woke up and found we had a new neighbor – a local fisherman on the bank beside us. He even caught a few fish before we cast off.

Our next stop was at LeSomail, an active little village on the canal with numerous restaurants, a grocery store on a barge, and a very famous bookstore.  There was also a very nice visitors center that showed a short video of the history of the Canal du Midi

It was easy to understand why people like to visit this village  It doesn’t matter if you come by boat, car or bicycle there’s lots to see and enjoy

Cheers!!
