Canal boat France : Canal-du-Midi

A cruise in the sun

Enjoy a cruise in the sun and discover the “canal des deux mers” built by Baron Riquet (1604-1680). The canal du Midi is listed by UNESCO as a world heritage site and everything is untouched, from its round and oval locks to its arched bridges in romanesque style...
From Agde, a famous little fishing town or from Homps, surrounded by the Minervois vineyards, the canal lazily meanders through a romantic landscape, full of a thousand Mediterranean fragrances. Your cruise will be a never-ending delight under the sunshine which filters through the trees, among the shimmering tones of flowers and the chirp of crickets and grasshoppers. You will enjoy being with your family or friends, walking or riding on tow-paths, stopping at historic or gastronomic localities, totally losing track of time. These are the memories and images that we hope you will keep from your cruise on the Canal du Midi.
