There is one way of exploring this impossibly romantic region that doesn’t occur to most travellers: a week-long cruise down the Canal du Midi.

It’s a long uphill climb but smiles are back on innocent faces and time it seems has healed.

Warning: may include dangerous levels of natural beauty. Consume at own risk.

Ever wondered why you couldn’t stick to that job, couldn’t stay put or rid yourself of a niggling sense that you just had to be somewhere – anywhere – else?

You read that correctly. One hundred. Miniature. Donkeys.

Just like a regular history lesson, only interesting.
