Le Somail, near Narbonne. Canal du Midi
Photo of the Week - July 1 2001

Small boats, Big boats, Narrow boats are available for rental

Le Somail, could be called Riquet's utopia -as many of the buildings were built at the same time as the canal, under the tutelage of Paul Riquet. Now the small village is busy with boat rentals, from day to weekly rentals. Restaurants abound along the banks, as well as a number of art andcraft shops, a very large second hand book shop, and a hat museum!. It is a short trip from Narbonne or the Mediterranean beaches - and walks and picnics along the canal are inviting.
