Barging Holiday


A typical scene on Canal du Midi in the south of France, still one of the best ways to travel through a country - by barge that is.  Travelling at your own pace, stopping where you like, when you like, shopping in medieval markets, preparing your own food on the barge, sleeping on the barge.............no catching of trains, planes & automobiles on a schedule, no hotel or restaurant reservations, no carrying of your luggage around.

I live near the grand union canal in Buckinghamshire and that has been frozen solid for nearly two weeks now. But like the picture in your post it looks fantastic, and in the summer what a way to holiday.
