Short little videos about our barge trip aboard the River Yacht Roi Soleil...

Day 6


Day 6. We bid farewell.
We awoke on Day 6 to the realization that this would be our last day aboard our floating home. We were truly saddened by the prospect of returning to reality. Our time aboard had been memorable. We set out to make the last day one of our best... and vowed not to venture far from our water-borne home. We took a short stroll alongside the Canal…relaxed on deck…enjoyed more of Dean’s cuisine…and regrettably began packing our bags for the journey to Carcassonne where we would end our trip. That evening, we invited the crew to dine with us…and as is our custom, each couple read a poem or sang a song that commemorated the cruise. We laughed until we cried…and then it was time for Dean’s culinary crowning glory…a crème puff tower covered with honey that somehow he had managed to build during the afternoon without us seeing it! What fun! The next morning, we exchanged hugs and email addresses with Dean, Fin and Karen…and Guillaume took us by car to Carcassonne. From there, we went our separate ways…awash in the afterglow a time well spent.
