点评:We were very happy with the bikes - good quality, the front and side panier very useful, helmet and locks great, placed at the right size and great system in having them at the first accommodation ready for us. Accommodation was excellent - we did upgrade to comfort and we found the guesthouses at Castelnaudary with Francois and Corinne beautiful, Thomas' guesthouse at Homps wonderful, the Carcasonne hotel very very nice and the Prison hotel at Beziers so quirky and high quality. The very fancy hotel in Sete - gorgeous. (Shame about the unfriendly service there though - which was not the fault of Utracks') It was disappointing however to cycle the Canal du Midi and find that 75% of the trees have died and are being replanted. Our trip was in June so some advice regarding the heat and sun exposure during that time due to the issue of little shade after Castelnaudary was something we would have been appreciative of. It was also a shame that there were so little eating and drinking opportunities on the Canal du Midi - it was necessary to go off track exploring to find food / drink and then it was pot luck if boulangeries, patisseries, cafes, bars etc were open (i.e. it may have been their day of closure)
翻译:我们对自行车非常满意——质量很好,前后侧的驮包非常实用,头盔和车锁也很棒,尺寸合适,而且在第一个住宿地点就准备好了,非常方便。住宿也很棒——我们升级到了舒适型,发现弗朗索瓦和科琳在卡斯泰尔诺达里 (Castelnaudary) 的民宿很漂亮,托马斯在霍姆斯 (Homps) 的民宿也很棒,卡尔卡松 (Carcasonne) 的酒店非常不错,贝济耶 (Beziers) 的监狱酒店则别具一格,品质很高。塞特 (Sete) 的那家豪华酒店——非常漂亮。(可惜那里的服务不太友好——但这并非 Utracks 的错。)然而,骑行米迪运河 (Canal du Midi) 时发现 75% 的树木已经枯死,正在重新种植,这令人失望。我们的旅行是在六月,所以如果能事先了解一下卡斯泰尔诺达里之后几乎没有遮荫的地方,以及六月期间的炎热和日晒情况,那就太好了。令人遗憾的是,米迪运河沿岸的餐饮场所非常少——必须偏离主干道去探索才能找到食物/饮料,而且面包店、糕点店、咖啡馆、酒吧等是否营业也只能碰运气(也就是说,那天可能是他们的休息日)。
