We arrive early when the beach isn't yet too busy
The Lac de la Cavayère, Carcassonne, Aude, France - 10th August
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. It's also quite possibly Nosher's first return visit since 1980

Isobel and Harry do the first test swim
Fred hurls himself in
Fred bobs about
Harry starts building a sandcastle
Flaking out on the 'beach'
When it gets too hot, we retire to the woods for a picnic
The boys run around on top of a hill
Sunlight through the trees
We explore further up the lake
Harry gets a slushy
Harry's tongue is super-bright red/orange
Massed pedalos
Fred chases grasshoppers
We find a nice green beetle on a stick
Harry and Fred scramble down a hillside
Standing surfboard-canoe things and some ducks
We hire a pedalo for half an hour
The beach is now heaving, as seen from the pedalo
Some dude practices water-skiing on something that resembles a zipwire
Harry feeds the ducks
It's churro time
Isobel roams around with a cucumber in the local Carrefour supermarket
Sometimes translations can be a bit dodgy
Near the Porte d'Aude are some cool 'hand pan' buskers
Fred and Harry play with Lego at the Le Crèneau restaurant
There's a really nice old Peugeot 204 convertible in the square
Harry slurps apple juice
Harry has a think about what to draw
The château Comtal and the restaurant Le St. Jean
Wandering back through the sodium lights
There's a blur of people near the Porte d'Aude
A solitary car waits at the bottom of an apartment block
