Canal du Midi barging - from Toulouse to Sète self drive by hire boat or luxury canal barge For our departure ports-click here...

 

This canal du midi starts in the beautiful basin of Thau at Sète and finishes in Toulouse, where it changes into the Canal lat. de la Garonne. It is surely the best known canal of Europe and one of the most beautiful. This has its price. Since it was taken onto the list of the world’s cultural possessions it has become busy by tourism in the high season. If you would like to enjoy the beauty of Midi in peace and quiet you can do so only far out of season. Our bases are in Toulouse, Carcassonne, Homps and Agde
