This was a lovely trip , Erwin our leader was friendly, extremely helpful and great for adapting to meet the group's needs. The cycling each day was within my ability, over 60 and recovering from chest infection. The canal path had been re-surfaced in places and not as bumpy and rough as expected. I loved the whole trip, but Toulouse was a lovely place to visit and I got an extra at the end of the trip to visit again. Cycling the Canal de Midi well worth taking this trip.
