Friday, June 2 – Canal du Midi: Bram to Caux-et-Sauzens
We were so sad to leave Bram that we stopped at the boulangerie, the cave à vin (wine store), and the marché. Well, to be honest, these were also practical decisions. We knew we had 10+ miles in front of us, and absolutely no services and few amenities in Caux-et-Sauzens, a town of 950 people, which even the owner of the cave seemed to doubt was a good decision.
So, we had a long walk and a nice picnic with quiche from the boulangerie. BTW, Dave has gone all Frenchman on me. Check out the baguette in his backpack!
Among other things, I am fascinated by road signs, often asking, “What the hell does that mean?” On the way into Caux-et-Sauzens we saw this road sign.
Seriously? Like drivers need to be told it’s a bad idea to drive off an embankment into a canal????
Caux-et-Sauzens turned out to be super cute, and we arrived in time to grab a chardonnay before nap time!
The town’s hotspot – and only restaurant.
The church.
Town fountain.
Roman baths.
Wine press.
Another view of the main plaza. Yes, I’m doing research…aided by a second glass of chardonnay.
Another cozy room. Dave only bumped his head ~20-30 times :).
