Castelnaudary, located in the south of Languedoc-Roussillon, is an interesting market town.
People on the boats that cruise along the Canal Du Midi probably get the best view of the town and often moor near the Grand Bassin.

It certainly makes a good place to stop and wander up and down the the roads and along the canal for a while. But as we drove through on an unusually wet and cold April day it was all the restaurants announcing that Cassoulet was on the Menu that caught my eye.
No wonder - because Castelnaudary is the place where cassoulet was invented, so they say, and a thick stew with pork, chicken and sausages and haricot beans sounded just right for lunch on such a wintery day.
