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.
