Abbaye Sainte-Marie de Lagrasse and The Lac de la Cavayère, Aude, France - 10th August

A couple of days in and we decide it's time to go a bit further out, following up on a suggestion from the house owner to visit the mediaeval Abbey town of Lagrasse, some 40km away. But before that, there's time for a wander around the markets in Carcassonne. After that, it's time to do a bit of swimming at what is generally known as Carcassonne's beach - the Lac de la Cavayére, just a few miles outside the city. The swimming is fantastic as it's fresh water, calm and most of all actually warm.
