Canal du Midi in France - Plane Trees




I was so lucky to be cruising on the Canal du Midi in Southern France in September for a few days! I found the parts of the canal lined with plane trees so beautiful with the calm water and the reflections. Now I say to myself - Was I dreaming?

  4. Hi cao,
    It seems that he saw most of the canal! Me, only a little! And you, how much did you see?

    Happy dreams!

  7. Actually, the old planes of the canal, close to 50 000, will be cut down because they are infected with canker stain of plane. New planes, resistant to disease, will replace them progressively!

  8. Hello!
    Oh, I didn't know that. 50,000 sounds like so many! I wonder how quickly these trees grow to the size in my photo.
