More about Canal du Midi
Listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site, the Canal du Midi was built by Pierre-Paul Riquet in the 17th century and is an amazing feat of engineering. Linking the Atlantic with the Mediterranean, it takes you on a wonderful journey through the sun-drenched vineyards and pretty waterside villages of the Languedoc - France’s most prolific wine producing region.
Wind your way under the dappled shade of the plane trees, passing through beautiful oval-shaped locks and gliding over spectacular arched bridges and ancient aqueducts. Step ashore to shop in lively markets or to step back in time sightseeing at the many museums and châteaux en route. Or simply relax and enjoy the amazing scenery from the unique perspective of your sundeck and raise a glass to the wonderful in the south of France!
"The children cycled into the village each morning for a croissant while we planned the day ahead."
