Njengoko iintsuku ezigqibeleleyo zihamba, azibi ngcono kunokubhabha kumjelo osemazantsi eFransi kwaye zikhwankqiswe bubuhle obunentloko yehlungulu ngelizwi le-diva. Yena, nokuba wayengubani na, ngequbuliso wavela efestileni yesikhephe esigxunyekwe kwiCanal du Midi waza wanikela inguqulelo evuselelayo yodidi oluphezulu "O Sole Mio."
Kwaye ke i-diva yahamba ngokukhawuleza njengoko ibonakala. Yayiyindawo yokuthetha kangangeentsuku njengoko isikhephe sethu - i-Enchante - yayihamba ngobunono kumjelo ojikelezwe ngumthi wenqwelomoya, inyusa kancinci umsinga.
Uhambo lwethu lwaqala eBeziers, apho u-Enchante wakroba ithuba lakhe lokujongana nezitshixo ezisixhenxe ze-Fonseranes, ezazithathwa njengomsebenzi omangalisayo wobugcisa ngelo xesha kwaye wakhawulwa yindoda yaseFransi, uPierre-Paul Riquet. Indoda enomdla, yaqokelela intywenka yemali yokuqokelela irhafu, awayityala ngokupheleleyo ekufezekiseni iphupha lakhe kunye neyona nto inkulu ebomini bakhe - ukwakha iCanal du Midi.

Kule minyaka imbalwa idlulileyo, ukukhula kokhenketho lwamanzi angaphakathi eFransi - nakwezinye iindawo eYurophu - kuye kwakhawuleza ngokumangalisayo. Iinkampani eziqasha ngenqanawa/izikhephe eziqeshisayo ezithe zasekwa kulo lonke ubude beCanal du Midi zisebenzise oku ngokupheleleyo. Iipaseji ezingama-10,000 ngonyaka kwizitshixo zeFonseranes zibonisa ubungakanani bokhenketho olungazange lubonwe ngaphambili.
I-Boat aficionados itsalwa lilanga, imbonakalo entle, kunye nokutya okucolekileyo-zihlanjwe (ngokumodareyitha, kunjalo) kunye newayini eqaqambileyo evela kwizidiliya zeLanguedoc-Roussillon.
Esinye seendawo zokuqala zokumisa ze-Enchante - okuthetha "ukuthanda ukudibana nawe" - kukutyelela indawo yokuthengisa iwayini phakathi kweBeziers neCapestang, ebiyeyosapho olunye iminyaka engaphezu kwama-400. Kulapha apho sifunde khona ukuba iwayini emhlophe ayithandeki kwaye iRose ifunwa kakhulu kwaye ibisoloko ikwimo esemazantsi eFrance.
Iqela lomyeni nenkosikazi, uRoger noLouisa Gronow, balithoba ikhaya labo eFransi ukuze bathenge i-Enchante – eyona nqanawa inkulu nentsha ngoku esebenza kumthi wenqwelo-moya okwiCanal du Midi – eyona ndlela yamanzi exakekileyo e-France.
Emva kokuthenga isikhephe ngee-euro ezingama-65,000, esi sibini sachitha enye i-euro ezingama-500,000 ekuhlaziyeni eBelgium, apho i-Enchante yakhiwa ngo-1958 njengendawo yokuthwala imithwalo. Ukulungiswa kwakhona kwathatha unyaka, njengoko ngaphezulu kweemitha ezilithoba kuye kwafuneka ukuba zisikwe embindini wesikhephe solwandle ukuze atyibilike kwizitshixo zomjelo, ngakumbi ezo zisecaleni kweCanal du Midi.
Ukusukela kuhambo lwakhe lobuntombi kwiCanal du Midi ngo-Agasti ka-2009, u-Enchante uye waba ngumtsalane omkhulu kubahlali kunye nabakhenkethi ngokufanayo, ngakumbi xa ecudisa phantsi kweebhulorho ezimxinwa eshiya ababukeli bekhefuzela njengoko kuhlala kukho iimilimitha ezahlula uphahla kunye namacala enqanawa. Kodwa ukapteni uRoger sisandla esibambekayo ekulawuleni isikhephe kwiimeko ezixineneyo, echithe iminyaka eliqela-esuka kwi-deck hand ukuya ku-kapteni - kwiinqanawa ezisebenza kwimisele yaseFransi.
I-Enchante ineekhabhathi ezine ezine-air-conditioning ezimbini ze-en-suite, idesika yelanga enebhafu enkulu yespa, kunye nesaluni ephangaleleyo enekhitshi lokubonisa, ibha evulekileyo, ikhompyuter, kunye neDVD/TV.

Kwabona banomdla ngakumbi abangafuniyo ukuya kukhenketho olukhokelwa mihla le ngebhasi encinci, banokuqokelela ibhayisekile enesantya esili-18 ukusuka kwisikhephe kwaye bakhwele ecaleni kwendlela yokutsala umjelo-indawo yokusabela ekhulayo kunye nepaseji yezilwanyana zasendle yoluhlu lwezilwanyana. kunye nezityalo. Umgama oziikhilomitha ezingama-240 unxulumanisa iToulouse eHaute Garonne kunye neSete kunxweme lweMeditera kwaye udlula kwelinye ilizwe laseFransi elihle kunye nembali.
