Lunch at Auberge de la Croisade, a very attractive restaurant by the Canal du Midi on the D36 South from Cruzy. Followed by a beautiful walk among the autumn leaves, along a secluded part of the canal, starting in the restaurant car park. Unfortunately, the evidence of a fungal disease ceratocystis fimbriata platani, which is attacking the plane trees, is visible with a number of recently cut tree stumps along this part of the canal bank.
