From Carcassonne

Discover the most beautiful canal in the world, the Canal du Midi, renowned for its landscapes, its works of art and its gentle way of life, on board your rental houseboat departing from Carcassonne.

Carcassonne, an enchanting destination and the starting point for an unforgettable cruise

What more majes­tic start­ing point than Car­cas­sonne… The medieval city, an archi­tec­tur­al ensem­ble twice list­ed by UNESCO, over­looks the new town from its high ram­parts, whose state of preser­va­tion is still aston­ish­ing today ! A gas­tro­nom­ic cruise, a cul­tur­al get­away or per­haps a com­bi­na­tion of both : as cap­tain of your house­boat, you decide the direc­tion you want to take on this unusu­al voy­age along the water.

Let yourself be seduced by a river cruise on the canal du Midi !

With its 61 locks, includ­ing the inevitable round locks, and its count­less engi­neer­ing struc­tures, the Canal du Midi promis­es to offer you all the rich­es and advan­tages of a riv­er cruise. So set off to cross the Cathar coun­try or enjoy the sooth­ing rhythm of your house­boat as you cruise through the region’s vine­yards. Your riv­er cruise can also be trans­formed into a gas­tro­nom­ic voy­age (cas­soulet from Castel­naudary, Min­er­vois or Cor­bières wines…)

If your cruise takes you as far as Agde, make a stopover in the town of Béziers !
