After 7 days straight of riding, I decided I needed a rest day. Limited my riding to 25k recovery spin along the Midi canal in Toulouse - part of the longest canal system in Europe. Lined with people living in recycled barges of all sizes, shapes and condition! Not sure the tax man or health inspector owns this problem.
We stayed at a hotel on the edge of La Place du Capitole. This is the premiere public square in Toulouse and is rich in the history of French monarchy (XVIII siecle) and the French revolution. You could almost sense the ghosts of great public spectacles past. And some wonderful architecture surrounding the square.
Managed to fit in a big afternoon sleep for the first time. I needed it. And now on to the Pyrenees.
