Sail through history on the Canal du Midi, the UNESCO-listed waterway that winds past vineyards, villages, and medieval strongholds in the heart of southern France.
Dine canalside at Port Lauragais, enjoy Castelnaudary’s world-famous cassoulet, and stroll the pretty lanes of Bram.
Step inside Carcassonne’s legendary walled city before gliding on to Le Somail, where a stone bridge and a historic bookshop tell their own timeless stories.
It’s a journey of castles and cuisine along this most enchanting French waterway.
