The Écluse de l'Océan is an architecturally beautifully built single-chamber lock. It marks the highest point of the Canal du Midi (Col de Naurouze or Seuil de Lauragais: the watershed between the Atlantic and the Mediterranean).

A short tour of Toulouse before setting off along the very crowded cycle path, which here is the Canal du Midi. The surface remains smooth until just beyond Pont Laugarais, then to avoid the bumpy sections we exit onto the road. We cross a plateau, re-enter the canal. Castelnaudary is built on two large ponds, on the smaller one there …

Departure from Toulouse along the Canal du Midi.

The route is more lively than the previous stages, ups and downs, rest areas, little places along the way. It may be Sunday, but we found a lot of movement …

A leisurely cycling day like we haven't had in a long time. The challenge was the east wind, which blew in our faces but didn't strengthen our backs. After about 50 km of easy-to-ride asphalt, we first encountered very rough, coarse gravel, followed by finer, gravelly surfaces.

But first things first!
