September 11, 2022 Spent the morning in Narbonne then left about 2 PM and traveled approximately 4.5 kilometers up the canal to a lock where we moored for the night.
Morning reflection in the canal
Some 100 years ago there was a large laundry built over canal directly behind us next to the lock.
Sunday morning breakfast of bacon and eggs enjoyed by our shipmates while we walked around the old city area.
Expresso machines in a shop window.
Yesterday afternoon this street was packed with people, early Sunday morning it nearly deserted.
Too early for the shoppers to come out.
A great idea on how to use an old chair seen in front of a flower shop.
Old city area architecture.
Typical street in the old city area.
The place to get your poodle coiffured.
The sign says it all. If you can read French, which i can not.
We were lost for a time in the maze of tiny narrow streets, then suddenly there was the cathedral in front of us.
The back of the cathedral offers distinctively different views from the front.
It is hard to get it all in a photo.
Trying for a natural frame.
Interesting style.
The transept back here was never finished.
This was not supposed to be a bird photo, but these pigeons just had to fly in and land to get in the photo.
Don’t get too excited about another gargoyle gallery. This cathedral had a very poor selection of gargoyles. This one is obviously a dog.
This one resembles a cat and was the next one over from the dog.
A person with an iron collar maybe?
A hound with its head broken off?
Another animal with its head missing. That is all the gargoyles I could see that were worth photographing.
When you wander you never know what you will stumble across.
Back on board the boat, an aperitif to salute the day.
Leaving Narbonne.
Bridge under a bridge above a walkway beside a canal.
No problem with where to go.
Giving the Capt. time away from the wheel.
The night’s mooring alongside the canal near a lock.
A nice quiet, shady spot.
Here the water level was a little above normal.
Our meal was fixed aboard the boat.
Good food, good friends, good times.
And we even had ice cream for dessert.
The mooring even had a guard cat.
