Le Somail,
near Narbonne. Canal du Midi
Photo of the Week - July 1 2001
Small boats, Big boats, Narrow boats are available for rental at Le Somail on the Canal du Midi
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 restaurants that abound along
the banks, as well as a number of art and craft 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.
