The Canal du Rhône à Sète starts at the closed down junction lock of Beaucaire, flows past the lock of St. Gilles (junction Petit Rhône / Rhône) and continues parallel
to the Mediteranean Sea to Sète. You can moore somewhere and make a stroll to the beach to take a dive into the Mediterranean sea.The voyage goes right through
the middle of Camarque with huge groupes of flamingoes, grazing horses and so on.. . If you have enough time you should absolutely make the detour to Aigues-Mortes.
At the end the beautiful Etang de Thau and with it the Canal du Midi is waiting for you.  We have a base in Carnon (Montpellier Plage) and from there you can make a
one way trip to Homps by the Canal du Midi. You can also make a return trip to Agde, on the Canal du Midi
