Barges by Country and Region: Canal du Midi
|
With an ancient past and sun-blessed climate, the South of France is a destination all its own. The gem of the region is the 300 year
old Canal du Midi. An engineering marvel for its time, the canal stretches out along the sunny shores of the Mediterranean before
winding inland through ancient villages and Roman fortifications.
The journey along the Canal du Midi will take you into Béziers and through the impressive River Orb aqueduct. Perhaps the
most impressive site on the canal is the 100 foot long flight of seven locks at Fonserannes. If that isn't enough,
you'll also
marvel at the Malpas Tunnel, the world's oldest canal tunnel.
Of course, you'll explore many villages on the canal, including Béziers itself, l'Oppidum d'Enserune, a pre-Roman hilltop
settlement dating from 600 BC, and exciting Carcassonne, the largest fortified city in existence today. Finally, there are plenty
of vineyards to visit for a dégustation, and you'll also love the Oulibo Olive Corporation where you can taste delicious olives and olive
oil.
