I enjoyed very much this excursion in Narbonne: beautiful landscapes and nice encounters

There are some interesting aspects of this region: the Canal du Midi (the boatman Jean-Marc Samuel and his barge, the transport of the Greek olive oil and other organic products from Sète to Bordeaux and the painter Denis Carrière who enjoys the magic light of the canal), the tourism in Narbonne (the Finish tourist Eevi, the summer camp at the Moussoules since 1939, the season worker Jules and the "pontons flottants"), the wine maker Magali Roux and the "Domaine des 2 ânes" (the vinyard with grenache grapes, the donkeys for the weeding and the cleaning around the vineyard, the technique of "pigeage"), the Grands Buffets de Narbonne (the founder Louis Privat, the plate with 111 cheeses, th old styl building), the ponds of the Natural Park of the Narbonnaise ( the ornithologist Dominique Clément and the visitors, the migratory birds, the nice pictures of flamingoes in the ponds), the Gouffre Géant de Cabrespine ( the speologist Philippe Clergue and the visitors, the canoeing in the underground river and the zip line), the wind at Leucate (Laurent Simons showing the effects of the winds on the cliffs, his wife-the painter- and the care for the lighthouse), the paludiers Lony and Patrice Cabanou and the salt marshes ( the wind and the evaporation in the salt ponds, the harvest of "fleur de sel") , the Medieval Rotisserie of the castle of Villerouge-Terménès (Thierry Cascino , the guests in medieval costumes eating medieval dishes-tourte à la viande-) and the knight of Carcassone ( Gwenael Vanstraellen wearing a medieval costume, the children and the sword play).

I enjoyed the encounters of Jérôme with Frack Miro, with the Dellong family at the fish market, with Gregory at Gruissan, with Simone Ribes called Nénette and Aude Daras at the Manade Tournebelle, with Angélique Berget at the Ilots de Gruissan, and with Barthélémy D'Andoque at the Abbaye de Fontfroide; nice encounters with very kind French men and women.
