July 14, 2023,Lac de la Ganguise et canal du Midi.

Beginning of a journey of 5 days, 3 in panniers.
First day, in the Lauragais. Pedaling against the Autan wind is very refreshing, but quite tiring! As a reward, the fireworks of July 14 in Carcassonne from the campsite. Well it's far, but not too noisy!
