 Anjodi |
The 8 passenger Anjodi is of classic Dutch design, specifically rebuilt to navigate the 300 year old Canal du Midi. She is
beautifully decorated in the tasteful tradition of African hardwoods, hand-crafted paneling.
Sporting a newly redecorated salon, Anjodi has retained her delightful nautical character with a new theme of red & white
with comfortable matching red leather sofas in the salon and beautiful brass portholes throughout the entire vessel. You’ll also
enjoy the large picture windows in the salon. The sundeck is spacious and has a sunken Jacuzzi tub, perfect for enjoying the
passing scenery or relaxing under the stars.
Anjodi's highly professional crew of four is comprised of a master chef, tour guide and host, and is led by a knowledgeable and
experienced captain who will ensure your cruise is memorable!

Sunday - You will be met at the pick-up point in the late afternoon and escorted by minibus to Anjodi moored in the lakeside
fishing village of Marseillan, enjoying a view over the oyster beds and Noilly Pratt vermouth. Then enjoy a champagne welcome followed
by time for a relax stroll around this lovely fishing village before dinner aboard.
Monday - This morning, Anjodi cruises from Marseillan to Portiragnes. On the way you'll visit the old Greco/Phoenician port
of Agde and explore its narrow, medieval streets carved from black volcanic stone from the Languedoc hills. After lunch, take an
informative wine tasting in the 14th century Château de Perdiguier, famed for its 15th century frescoes and Cabernet
Sauvignon and Chardonnay wines.
Tuesday - This morning you'll visit Pézenas, a delightful village, mostly known for its associations with the French
playwright Molière, who is said to have written many plays while staying there. Anjodi then cruises to the bottom of the
Fonserannes 7 lock flight at Béziers where she continues along the 300 year old tree lined Canal du Midi.
Wednesday - This morning Anjodi crosses the aqueduct over the River Orb and then ascends the 7 lock flight of
Fonserannes before reaching the world's oldest canal tunnel at Malpas. On arrival at the picturesque village of Poilhes you'll take an
excursion out to Minerve, the ancient capital of Minervois, which boasts a 12th Century Cathar fort surrounded by deep limestone
gorges.
Thursday - Today, take a morning visit to Narbonne, a Roman Mediterranean capital where the Visigoth monarchs once lived.
Enjoy the Archbishop's Palace and Horreum. Explore the indoor market at the hub of this bustling canal side town, where you will
have time to shop or simply absorb the relaxed atmosphere. Then return to Anjodi for a cruise along the shaded winding canal to
Argeliers, stopping off en route at Domaine de Guery, a 500 year old canalside vineyard, for a pre-dinner wine tasting of the
full-bodied Corbieres.
Friday - Enjoy a morning visit to Carcassonne. Dating back to the Gallo-Roman era, this is the most complete medieval
fortified city in existence today. With its 52 watchtowers, portcullis and extraordinary repertoire of defenses, it resisted
the many armies that tried to storm this Camelot setting. In the afternoon you'll cruise along the historic Canal du Midi
to the delightful village of Le Somail. Then have fun at the festive Captain's Farewell Dinner aboard.
Saturday - After breakfast, depart from Le Somail by minibus to Béziers.
