The peace of the quiet waters
of the Canal du Midi
where the passengers aboard
the silent boats will greet you
with a friendly gesture as they
glide by.
A sea wind comes to cool
the seaside,
bringing the echo of children
playing on the beach and the
joy of hearing the call of the tra-
ditional “beignet” sellers, long-
awaited by both young and old.
A green vista of endless horizon
dotted by little peaks and valleys,
traditional farmhouses, wine
estates and village bell towers.
