Content

(Released early and ad-free for Patrons except for the embedded promo for Saily which is part of the video itself; see timestamps below if you wish to skip it)

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.
