We have arrived in Agen, France and board our Canal Boat tomorrow for a week of cruising some of the canals of France. We checked out our “baby “canal boat earlier this morning and personally, I am pleased it is not too big, as I am the first mate. I have my leather gloves ready for all the work manoeuvring the boat around\u00a0the locks and waterways for the fussy captain\u00a0!!! We will be without internet for a week, so will hopefully have some photos of our boat trip in a weeks time.<\/p>\n

Agen is situated halfway between Bordeaux and Toulouse, and is probably best known for its prunes. There is much more to this charming small city: gothic arches, a daily covered market, narrow medieval alleys, and a canal and river. The people of Agen are infinitely friendly, and avid rugby fans. Go Aussie !!!<\/p>\n

Interestingly, the world-famous Agen prunes are not actually from Agen, but from nearby villages. They came to be connected with Agen because they were distributed from this city.<\/p>\n

Until next week, hope you enjoy these photos of Agen.<\/p>\n
