Day 15 St Pierre-de-la Mer- Le Somail 45km

We opened the blinds of our room on Narbonne Plage to be greeted by another blue sky and a calm inviting sea.

Fortunately the épicerie next door was open and a very friendly mother/daughter team, prepared us breakfast. They put together a fabulous cholesterol boosting charcuterie platter, suitable for hungry bikers.

We then packed up and started pedalling along the excellent beach path.

It wasn’t long before I felt the need for a dip in the sea, which was surprisingly still quite warm. Only a few kms later we headed north and left the Mediterranean coast for the last time and headed into scrubby countryside.

This Canal is another link from the Med to the Canal du Midi. This canal then enables boats to get to the Atlantique coast across France.

The path was very rough for about 3 kms and at one point it had to be diverted, as it was sliding into the canal!

Valerio needed to return to Sète by train, then drive back to meet us in Le Somail, where we’d booked a 2 bed apartment by the canal.
