“I have to walk a little, but it is here I am free” - A Frenchman.Stepping off the train platform, the relaxed air of a city connected with its nature and history is almost tangible. Nothing says “come on in, take a load off” like a cool breeze off the Canal du Midi that meanders through the loose groups of locals enjoying another perfect summer day on the lawn of Jardins de la Ligne, tousling your hair as if welcoming you as one of its own.
