What do you do in Carcassonne when the daily weather forecast is 39 degrees? You get up before the sun and hike 14 km to and around Lac de la Cavayere. Then you take the bus home for an early siesta.
The hike this morning was very reminiscent of the Spanish camino passing beside vineyards and paths lined with wild flowers. Although shorter in distance from yesterday’s,it was much hillier and certainly more challenging. I have still not learned to love hills since the last camino!
The actual lake was quite interesting. It had a lovely (but hilly) path around and was home to many different adventures such snow and water ski jumping, a floating obstacle course, and a massive outdoor adventure park for, from what we could see, middle-aged men. I have captured photos of some of these below.
We have now completed all of the local hikes except for a 4 km hike to a vantage point for the ‘perfect’ photo of la cite. We will attempt to do this after it cools down tonight.
