The Covered Bridge at Narbonne, France

This is the only bridge in France covered by buildings (like the Ponte Vecchio in Florence) If you stand in the spot that my other painting of canal boats in Narbonne was done from, and turn your hear to face the other way, this is what you see. The water was perfectly still like a mirror.

When the Canal du Midi was built, the merchants of Narbonne realized that they would be bypassed and the town would whither and die, so they built the Canal de la Robine to connect with the new transportation system.
