We encountered cottonwood "snow," which apparently lasts for 2 weeks every year--we were there in mid May. It was pretty but the cotton landed everywhere. Be sure to keep the windows closed or you will have it all over the cabin.
We passed through 2 locks then crossed over the Baise on the aqueduct.
After another lock, we arrived in Serignac, 16.1 km from Buzet. Serignac is an adorable little hamlet. There is a main road around it and a Spar, if you need to reprovision the boat.
This was the tiny road leading through the center of town. There are just a few buildings.
Of course, there's a church...
and the Mairie or town hall.
There was only 1 restaurant open in town--L'Escale Pizzeria.
We had another Buzet wine--€16 for Domaine de Michelet.
One of the specials for the night was Poulpe (octopus) a la Plancha Poivrons Marines (marinated peppers)--€17. This was a huge portion and the octopus was well prepared.
Salade Landais--€17. This salad had gesiers confit (gizzard cooked in fat and oh so tender), magret fume (smoked duck breast) and foie gras. Delicious!
Parme Grande PIzza--€16. Prosciutto, cheese, arugula and olives.
