Now was the opportunity to try out whether our dog could ride in a trailer.
Since the campsite had a bike rental with trailers for children and dogs (they don't make a distinction), the idea was to cycle along the canal to Béziers. Our dog didn't like it at all at first and whined for a while. We didn't let …
