Grand Tour - Day 10 - Toulouse Cycle and onwards to Carcassonne

Quite a long ride in the morning from the edge of Toulouse into and through the centre of Toulouse. Another town with a great network of cycle paths which were extremely busy this morning which I guess was around commuter rush hour. Eventually moved onto less busy canal side paths getting around 20 miles of of Toulouse before turning and taking a cross country route back towards the parked car. Around 46 flattish miles on this ride.


After that I drove onwards for about an hour towards Carcassonne and another fairly poor Ibis at the edge of town. From there I cycled into the old Citadel for a wander around and attempt to get some decent photos which proved quite challenging. A beautiful well preserved citadel but fairly tacky inside. Found a nice square to sit in for dinner choosing a very meaty and delicious cassoulet with a glass of wine.
