Ke hala nei nā lā kūpono, ʻaʻole lākou i ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi ma mua o ka heʻe ʻana ma kahi auwai ma ka hema o Palani a hoʻokau ʻia e kahi nani manu koraka me ka leo o ka diva. ʻO ia, ʻo wai ʻo ia, ua ʻike maka ʻole ʻia mai ka puka aniani o kahi moku i kū ma luna o ka Canal du Midi a hāʻawi iā ia i kahi mele hōʻeuʻeu o ka "O Sole Mio."

A laila ua hala koke ka diva e like me kona ʻano. ʻO ia kahi wahi e kamaʻilio ai no nā lā e like me kā mākou ʻaʻa - Enchante - holoholo mālie ma ka auwai laulā a ka pelane, me ka hāpai ʻole ʻana i kahi ripple.

Hoʻomaka ka huakaʻi a mākou ma Beziers, kahi a Enchante i kūlima ai no kāna hana e hoʻopaʻa i nā wili ʻehiku o Fonseranes, i manaʻo ʻia he hana loea kupaianaha i kēlā manawa a hāpai ʻia e kahi barona Farani, ʻo Pierre-Paul Riquet. He kāne kuko nui, ua ʻohi ʻo ia i kahi waiwai e hōʻiliʻili nei i nā ʻauhau, āna i hoʻopukapuka nui ai i ka hoʻokō ʻana i kāna moemoeā a me ka huakaʻi nui loa o kona ola - ke kūkulu ʻana i ka Canal du Midi. Kūkulu ʻia ia i ke au o Louis X1V a hoʻokomo ʻia i ka lawelawe i 1681.

ʻO ke kahawai - ʻāpana o kahi ʻōnaehana wai e hoʻopili ana i ka Moana ʻAkelanika me ke Kaiwaenahonua - i kūkala ʻia he kahua hoʻoilina honua ma ka makahiki 1996 a me nā helu e pili pū ana me nā kia hoʻomanaʻo nui o Palani, e like me ka Hale Eiffel a me nā Hale Aliʻi ʻo nā Pāpā ma Avignon.

I nā makahiki i hala iho nei, ʻo ka ulu ʻana o ka mākaʻikaʻi kahawai kūloko ma Palani - a ma nā wahi ʻē aʻe o ʻEulopa - ua wikiwiki loa ia. ʻO nā hui hoʻolimalima mokuahi / barge i hoʻonohonoho ʻia ma luna o ka lōʻihi holoʻokoʻa o Canal du Midi i hoʻohana pono i kēia. ʻO nā ʻāpana 10,000 i kēlā me kēia makahiki ma o nā loka Lani Fonseranes e hōʻike ai i ka nui o kēia mākaʻikaʻi canal mua loa.

Hoʻohilahi ʻia nā mea aloha waʻa e ka lā, nā hiʻohiʻona nani, a me nā meaʻai maikaʻi - holoi ʻia (i ke akahai, ʻoiaʻiʻo) me nā waina maikaʻi mai nā māla waina ʻo Languedoc-Roussillon.

ʻO kahi o nā kū mua loa no Enchante - ʻo ia hoʻi "ʻoluʻolu e launa me ʻoe" - he kipa ʻana i kahi hale inu waina ma waena o Beziers a me Capestang, ka mea nona ka ʻohana hoʻokahi ma mua o 400 mau makahiki. Ma aneʻi mākou i ʻike ai he makemake ʻole ʻia ka waina keʻokeʻo a koi nui ʻia ʻo Rose a lilo ʻo ia i mea makemake nui ʻia ma ka hema o Palani.

Ua hoʻohaʻahaʻa ke kāne a me ka hui wahine, ʻo Roger lāua ʻo Louisa Gronow, i ko lāua home ma Palani e kūʻai iā Enchante - ka ʻaʻa nui loa a hou loa e hana nei ma ka mokulele i kau ʻia ʻo Canal du Midi - ke kahawai kaiāulu ʻoi loa ʻo Palani.

Ma hope o ke kūʻai ʻana i ka moku no 65,000 euro, ua hoʻolilo hou lāua i 500,000 euro no ka hana hou ʻana i Pelekiuma, kahi i kūkulu ʻia ʻo Enchante ma 1958 ma ke ʻano he lawe ukana. Ua hala ka makahiki i hoʻokahi makahiki, ʻoi aku ma mua o ʻeiwa mau mika i pono e ʻoki ʻia mai ka waena o ka moku a e heʻe ʻo ia i loko o nā loka auwaha, ʻo ia hoʻi nā mea ma ka Canal du Midi.

Ma hope o kāna huakaʻi wahine ma Canal du Midi i ʻAukake 2009, ua lilo ʻo Enchante i mea hoihoi nui i nā kamaʻāina a me nā poʻe mākaʻikaʻi, ʻoiai ke kīkī ʻo ia ma lalo o nā alahaka kūiki e waiho ana nā mea nānā i ka manawa pinepine aia he mau milimili e hoʻokaʻawale ana i ka hale a me nā ʻaoʻao o ka moku. Akā ʻo skipper Roger kahi lima paʻa i ka maneuvering o ka ʻaʻa ma nā wahi paʻa, i hala i hala he mau makahiki - e holomua ana mai ka lima lima a i ke kāpena - ma nā moku e holo ana ma nā auwai Palani.

ʻO Enchante ʻehā mau lumi lumi ʻelua i hoʻolālā ʻia i ka lewa, ka papa o ka lā me ka pahu spa nui, a me kahi lumi ākea me kahi lumi kuke hōʻikeʻike, pā kī, kamepiula, a me DVD / TV. E pili ana i ka gastronomy onboard, lawelawe kahi luna kuke ma luna o ka papa i kekahi papa ʻai gourmet maikaʻi - mai ka cassoulet o Castelnaudary a i nā kūleʻa Sete, e hele ʻoe mai kekahi ʻike a kekahi.

No ka poʻe mākaʻikaʻi hou ʻole e makemake e hele i nā huakaʻi alakaʻi i kēlā me kēia lā i loko o kahi kaʻa ʻōhua, hiki iā lākou ke ʻohi i kahi kaʻa huakaʻi 18-wikiwiki mai ka moku a holo ma ke kahawai towpath - kahi puʻuhonua a me nā alaloa holoholona no nā ʻano holoholona. a me nā mea kanu. Hoʻopili ka towpath 240-kilomita iā Toulouse ma ka Haute Garonne me Sete ma ke kahakai Mediterranean a hele i waena o nā kaona nani a kaulana loa o Farani.

ʻO nā mea nui o ka holo waʻa heʻeono (Lāpule-Pōʻaono) mai Beziers a Le Somail:

- Ka hale pule nui o St. Nazair ma Beziers me kāna pā ma ke komohana 14 a hiki i ka hanana Baroque kupaianaha a puni ke kuahu me kona mau pou a me nā kiʻi.

- Ke kau nei i ka moana a nānā iā Enchante iā ia e neʻe haʻahaʻa ana mai lalo a luna o Fonseranes ʻehiku laka lele ma Beziers ma mua o ka hoʻomau ʻana ma ka Canal du Midi a i ke kahawai kanal kahiko o ka honua ma Malpas.

-ʻO ke kūlanakauhale kahiko o Narbonne - i lilo i mea koʻikoʻi no ka Emepaea Roma - ʻo ia ke ala i waena o Via Domitia a me Via Aquitinia. Hoʻopili ka Via Domitia iā Roma me ka Iberian Peninsula. Ua alakaʻi ʻo Hanibal i kona pūʻali koa (me kāna mau ʻelepani) ma kēia ala e hoʻouka iā Roma. I ka makahiki 1997, ua ʻike ʻia nā koena o ke ala i kūkulu ʻia ma 120 BC ma waho o ke kikowaena o ke kūlanakauhale.

- Keʻimi nei iā Minerve, kahi hale paʻa puu ʻo 12th kenekulia, e kiʻekiʻe ana ma luna o nā kahawai o nā kahawai ʻelua e ʻoki ana i ka pā nui a maloʻo. Ua helu ʻia ma ke ʻano he kauhale nani loa o Palani, ʻo nā ana o nā ana i noho ʻia a me nā dolmens (nā hale kupapaʻu) he nui i kūkulu ʻia ma ia wahi he hōʻike ia o ka hana kahiko loa.

- Ke kūlanakauhale hoʻoilina honua weliweli o Carcassonne. Noho ʻia ma ka piko o ka puʻu a hoʻi mai i ka wā Gallo-Roman, ʻo ia ke kūlanakauhale paʻa loa o ka medieval paʻa i kēia lā. Me kāna mau 52 kiaʻi, portcullis, a me nā repertoire o ka pale kaua noʻonoʻo, ua kūʻē ia i nā pūʻali koa he nui i hoʻāʻo e hoʻouka iā ia.

- Ke kahakai maluhia o Le Somail, ka mea i mālama i kona alahaka humpback i hoʻopili ʻia e kahi hale pule a me kahi hale hoʻokipa e hoʻi ana i ka makahiki 1773. Hoʻohanohano pū kekahi ia i kahi Musee de la Chapellerie (hale hōʻikeʻike poʻo poʻo) - nā pāpale a me nā lole mai nā wahi a puni o ka honua mai 1885 a hiki i kēia manawa.

- ʻO ka manawa nānā nui loa - ka diva pohihihi nāna i hopu ka puʻuwai o kēlā me kēia mea ma luna o Enchante a me ka poʻe e hoʻolohe ana i kahi mamao no kāna hana impromptu.

Ua hoʻonohonoho ʻo John Newton i kāna huakaʻi ma luna o Enchanté me ka huakaʻi ʻo waho o Bright, Australia.

ʻO nā helu paipai no ka holo kai ma luna o Enchanté i ka makahiki 2010 he € 3,885 no kēlā me kēia kanaka e kaʻana like ana i kahi lumi lua. Loaʻa nā helu hōʻemi no kahi palapala hoʻohui kū hoʻokahi o ka ʻaʻa hōkele.
