- ramiralessRegion of Murcia, Spain138 contributionsCURIOUSBoat ride on the canal. It is interesting to know the history of this canal, we took the boat in the port of Carcassonne and it was great. They explain it in 3 languages including Spanish and it is very pleasant. He stops at a small kiosk for lunch, ENTERS THE BOAT into the locks and thus learns the system to go up to the upper level of the canal.Visited July 2023Traveled with familyWritten March 1, 2024
- AussieClogwogPerth, Australia106 contributionsCanal du Midi - Highly Recommended Cycling tour Toulouse to SeteWe embarked on a very pleasurable holiday adventure, organised by French Bike Tours, traversing picturesque landscapes with splendid hire bicycles from Le Petit Cyclo—one standard, the other electric. Each day began with a delightful buffet breakfast, setting the perfect tone for our explorations. Our journey commenced in the stunning 'La Ville Rose' of Toulouse, where a great cycle path guided us to our first destination, the charming town of Castelnaudary, with its ‘Grand Bassin’ and our accommodation the enchanting old judges' residency, "Les Ordalies". Despite encountering a shift to dirt roads and gravel on the second day, the scenic canal, majestic plane trees, and idyllic countryside vistas more than compensated for the rough terrain. A short detour led us to the circular village of Bram, where we meandered through its quaint streets to reach the historic church. Our day culminated in the UNESCO-listed city of Carcassonne, where we had time to tour the medieval castle and enjoyed dinner at 'La Place de Vieille Ville'. One of the highlights was enjoying breakfast outside on the terrace of Hotel du Chateau, looking up to the walled city. Despite grappling with challenging headwinds and the sad sight of plane trees stumps the following day, we anticipate returning in fifty years to cycle beneath the replanted oak trees. Our route led us to the small town of Olonzac for the night, where we were warmly welcomed. Post-Olonzac, the cycle path significantly improved, albeit with occasional detours due to ongoing path work. The ancient city of Breziers greeted us with a decent along its nine impressive locks with views to the picturesque River Orb below. Perched atop a small hill, Breziers has charming streets with numerous terraces, and the Saint-Nazaire Cathedral is certainly worth a visit. The final leg of our journey was a leisurely cycle ride into Sete, with a substantial portion of the route tracing the coastline, offering ample opportunities to pause for refreshments at seaside terraces. Despite a slight detour prompted by the arrival of the Olympic torch, we arrived promptly at our hotel, the charming and eccentric Le Grand Hotel, where we would be staying for the next two nights. With an extra day in Sete, amidst rain showers, we were able to relax, unwind and reflect, on our unforgettable cycling tour. Five stars to French Bike Tours for the flawless organisation.Visited May 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten June 2, 2024

- renoirBarcelonaBarcelona, Spain2,077 contributionsNext to the Canal!Known for being navigable and one of the most important works of civil engineering of the modern era. Ordered built with the beneplacito of King Louis XIV is a navigable waterway between the Mediterranean and the city of Toulouse, where the river Garonne is located. From there, it connects with the Atlantic, was in the 17th century the way to cross back and forth by sea and without having to pass through the Spanish-dominated Strait of Gibraltar, a fact that was not associated with the interests of France or England. The canal, called Royal in that century, was renamed Midi or Midi, (in Catalan Migjorn), referring to its location in French territory. It has 240 km. navigable, we visited it in the vicinity of Sallèles sur Aude and saw a few locks through a multitude of pleasure boats especially during the summer!! Right in this village crosses the canal with the river Aude, it is called the "Canal de Jonction". Very interesting to see the level changing game and the organization system they have. And the beautiful landscape of the calm waters on both sides, lined by paths and manicured gardens, high Mediterranean pines, between bridges, apeaderos, aqueducts and tunnels. Quite a show, don't miss it!Visited August 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten August 20, 2024
- EucryphiaLondon, United Kingdom39 contributionsEasy canal-side cyclingWe last visited many many years ago before the trees were devastated by disease. It is good to see so many new trees that have been planted and in years to come it will only get better. We had memories of getting stuck in the mud of the tow path when cycling, but now the cycle track is mainly gravel and easy to ride. We cycled near Trebes, Puichéric and Homps. Cyclists and walkers are friendly and always say hello as you pass by. Lovely place.Visited September 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten September 22, 2024

Castelnaudary to Capestang via carcassonne. This was a trip in the making for 10 years as we as a group had previously been on 3 self drive Barge trips on other canals in France with France afloat. Our first part of the trip involved an overnight ferry trip from Plymouth to roscoff then a 9 hrs drive to Castelnaudray were we found the Barge waiting for us, I'm afraid it was looking rather tired and had second rate white plastic chairs to sit on deck on. We went in search for somewhere to eat and came across a fab open air canal side restaurant we're I tried the must have local dish of cassoulet, it was fabulous, the rest of the crew went for stake and were equally impressed. Next day we set off for Bram were we had been recommended a restaurant, we tried to phone to make a resuvation but got no reply, so after 17kms and 18 lock we found the restaurant was closed this happens a lot on the canal so beware when setting off to get plenty of supply's and top up with water whenever you can. Day 2 16 locks and waiting for hotel barges this happens a lot on the canal they have right of way because they give back handers to the lock keepers, a long day but we made it to carcassonne were we stayed for a few nights. The castle is a must visit visit, the port is very nice but a bit noisy at night, there are plenty of bars and restaurants, shops etc. We left carcassonne to trebes a nice steady day on the canal. Trebes was a lovely place with a fantastic restaurant, the only one open the night we arrived. Onto homps the next day and another great restaurant, with all restaurants please book ahead and ask other boater coming the other way we're they have been and what they recommend, it's very helpful. Next day onto Argens-Minervois beautiful place but it was shut, thank heavens for supplies. On to le Somail another steady day only 1 lock, my favourite place we visited beautiful but busy, the restaurant on the bank by the bridge was very poor my food was under cooked and sent back the service was poor also, on the other hand the small tapas bar on the other side of the bridge was great. Last day on the canal no locks but amazing views of the vineyards and Capestang was a joy with a good canal side restaurant and beautiful town with a impressive church and loverly town Square with bars and places to eat. Please remember get water when you have a chance, be polite to the lock keppers, they can make life quite tedious, always have supplies on board as France will be closed when you least expect it. We all found the people we met on the trip very helpful in the main. The boating is not for the faint hated as there are lots of locks to negotiate so if you go for it give yourself time to enjoy the canal parts of it are quite stunning.

Fabulous day trip on the canal du midi. My husband and I had planned a canal trip with friends from NZ as part of our European 40th wedding anniversary however when they could not join us we were pleased to find a day option with Kate and Ferdie - wonderful hosts who shared their knowledge of the canal, history and love of living locally there along with the ins and outs of navigating a boat. We did the 6 hour option from Capestang to the 9 Fonserannes Locks at Beziers - so interesting to see the locks being navigated. There was plenty of time to sit leisurely on deck chairs at the front of the boat, champagne in hand and watch the countryside idle by and a delicious home-made 3 course meal was served on the way back up the canal. We stayed in a B&B in Capestang and it was easy to meet up at the local
Tourist office to catch our ride. Kate corresponded well throughout our planning. Highly recommend this if you want a personal and exclusive experience in this beautiful part of France.

Two couples and my wife and I booked Savannah for a week on the Canal du Midi in late September of 2022. It was just the six of us and it was expensive but worth every penny. The experience far exceeded our expectations in every category. This is luxury at a slow pace with an attentive and very friendly crew. I’m always careful with superlatives but this did qualify as a trip of a lifetime.'
First of all, the food was unbelievably good. Valerie is an accomplished chef and it showed in every dish. Each evening was a complete four course dinner with aperitifs, wine, and after dinner drinks. Everything was sourced locally and exceeding fresh. On one of our outings we visited the market in Narbonne and went shopping with the captain. All the wines were from local winemakers and all were exceptionally good. Lunch was equally as good with several dishes served family style. Breakfast was all anyone could want.
Each day we cruised the canal for a few hours and we also had some type of outing. Frankly we hadn’t paid much attention to the excursions head of time, but everyone of them was interesting and a surprise. The Captain was always willing to adjust according to our desires but we happily enjoyed the planned activities.
Perhaps what made the trip so very enjoyable was the crew. I already mentioned Valerie’s talents in the galley. Noura was a delight, she filled a lot of roles – charming hostess, crew, and jack of all trades – even spelling the captain at the helm. The captain was an exceptional surprise, extremely well educated, well-travelled, and conversant in the history of the regions. He was with us on all our outings and we all had time with him to ask questions a gain a deeper understanding of the region. Savannah is his barge and he is always the captain. The crew is well trained and has been with him a long time. This is a bit different from corporate owned barges where captain and crew constantly change out. The consistency of service and camaraderie of the crew was a pleasure. We all laughed, told stories, and enjoyed the crew as if they were old friends.

The Canal du Midi started construction stared in the 1600s and was part of a project to connect and provide navigation from Narbonne on eastern coast of France to Bordeau and the Atlantic sea on the western end. While in Carcassonne, one of the touristy thing to do is take a short ride on a river boat and sail a portion of the canal waterway. A guide on board will give you a quick history of the construction. You will also get a glimpse of the Medieval fortified city in Carcassonne.

I rented a bicycle and trailer in Toulouse from Paulette Bike and cycled from Toulouse to Sète in five days in late March 2023. The bike path is undergoing renovation, so the path was a lot of dug up mud. There were bulldozers and backhoes and many detours along the way. The dried bulldozer tracks made a very bumpy ride. The parts of the path that were recently renovated and finished were filled in with gravel, which was slippery and dangerous for bicycles. Despite being careful, I fell twice in the gravel. The path is not well marked with signs, so at some bridges, it is unclear if the main path is on the right or left of the canal. It is easy to take the wrong path. I wish I had paid more attention to a previous review that said the path is rough and hard to negotiate. I would have planned a bicycle trip elsewhere. It was not a pleasurable experience.

We stopped in Villesequelande in 2022, saw signs that indicated there was a restaurant and market in town. We followed these signs, walking at least 25 minutes into town, only to find that the restaurant/market was still there, but no longer in business.
We ended up wasting almost an hour walking in the hot sun. False Advertising!!!

Canal du Midi is a water channel built in 17th Century in the south of France, in Occitanie Region. This water channe links Toulouse and Seté, a Mediterranean town in the SOuth-East of France. In fact, this channel and Garonne channel are united to go from Atlantic Ocean to the Mediterranean Sea in the oldest water channel in Europe. Nowadays, it is a tourist place, where you can walk, cycle, relax or go by boat in a lot of kilometres. Really, it was a very big engineering work and nowadays it is a pleasure place. IAlso, if you follow the channel, you can see few bars and restaurants, some ports (Castelnaudary or Carcassonne, for example), towns or different locks (in Beziers, there are the 9 locks, a very nice place), and almost always you are surrounded by nature. It is not so beautiful, but it is very large, I would like to do a fantastic hike follow all Canal du Midí and you can see this wonderful engineering work. Really very interesting for children and elders (cycle, walk, do a pique-nique, play, relax, go a boat, learn about this engineering work,, etc.) and for adults (cycle, run, hike, or do a lot of sport, etc). I hope return here some days and do a big hike or cycle!

Spent a fortnight on a rented boat on the Canal du Midi. Environmental issues on the canal were a disappointment. Witnessed a fish kill from Capestang westwards for about 6km. Authorities need to act now to prevent effluent from boats & agriculture from causing further damage. Old ways of doing things are not working.
Some lovely villages and very helpful locals. Lovely food in Columbier & Vias (ville).
Sundays are very quiet so be sure to have stocked up on essentials (many local supermarkets shut).

Coming out of Carcassonne train station on a day trip from Toulouse we crossed over the Canal du Midi on our way to downtown Carcassonne. There are a couple of lock gates by the side of the road, where it’s fun to watch the boats maneuvering in and out of the waterway.
Built during the 17th century as a way to get goods and people from Toulouse to Mediterranean and Atlantic Ocean, by architect Paul Riquet. It is now listed as a UNESCO world heritage site, and no longer used for commercial traffic, but is popular with tourists and local boaters.
TIP: There is a small bus just passed the canal where you can find out more about boat rental.

Our ride lasted around 4 hours. The section we did was extremely boring.
High banks either side gave no view at all and it was extremely busy getting through the seven locks. Many delays.
No wildlife or birdlife to see or hear.
There was that much boat traffic the canal was a total muddy brown colour.
We had a meal on the boat which I'm sorry to say was tasteless.
Pleasant company but nothing else.

We are to do the same trip port Cassafiere to Casternaudry in September been waiting 3 years since we booked to go. We are also going with Le boat who seem to be the best from company reviews. We are a little apprehensive as there are only 2 of us on the boat and wondered if this is likely to cause us any issues as the literature says that ideally at least 3 should be crew. Never hired a boat before and would appreciate any tips you could give us. We have 10 days to complete the trip so hopefully we should be able to have some time to explore. I see from other reviews that a small token to the lock keepers seems to be appropriate was this common or just the way that the American group thought it should be done. If it is the norm then something from the UK would seem a good idea.

Condsidering barge trip in Canal Du Midi. One comment seen is the there are not pump out stations along canal thus all boats dump waste into water making it less than pleasant. Seems odd but can someone with knowledge please comment

I traveled on the Canal du Midi on a Penichette 1160FB from Locaboat in the fall of 2019. Can confirm this boat did not utilize the holding tank, toilet effluent was discharged directly into the canal, which I understand is a general practice of long standing on the canal. We never experienced a bad odor from the canal. We did have a large dispenser of waterless hand cleaner handy for everyone on the boat to use whenever we handled anything that came into contact with canal water (such as dock lines).
The positives of the trip far outweighed this issue.

What did you spend on fuel for a week of cruising?
Written December 9, 2019
Companies charge rates depending on the type of boat and motor and the hours the motor was turned on. Last time in a 13 meter boat with air conditioning we paid 350 euro.

we are 2 retired couples (includes 1 very experienced sailor) considering a one week LeBoat charter beginning in Castelnaudary and ending in Trebes or Homps. Any impressions on the +/-25k between Trebes & Homps? Also, I've read LOTS of opinions about the speeds of the boats at full throttle - between 2 and 4.5; doesn't sound like a lot BUT one is twice as fast as the other and it makes big difference in planning.
Thanks

Hi , sorry not going to be able to be very much help here. We went east from Le Someil to Beziers. I’ve done a lot of canals in the UK and always work on basis of 3mph average and 3 or 4 locks per hour. Translating that to France I would suggest assume about 4 kph ( to allow for slowing down past moored boats) and 3 locks per hour. So if there’s 8 km of canal with 6 locks - you should allow 4 hours. Take time to enjoy it! Bon journee

We are 7 adults cruising from Narbonne to Trebes (one way) in September. We are interested in scenery, history and wine tasting. Any tips on a proposed itinerary, where to stop and what to do?
Written September 3, 2019
Hi The whole route is very scenic but bear in mind you are in the country and the towns you will stop at are small. We did not venture far from the boat, only walking and bike riding. I will only tell you about the places we stopped at that will be along your route. First, Narbonne is a big town and great as we parked in the canal which had steps leading up to the centre of the town. There is a lot of history, great market and lots to see in Narbonne. We stayed 3 nights here and as we had time took a bus down to the coast to Gruissan for a day trip. we parked right outside overnight at Ventenac-en Minervois in front of a huge and very nice winery that you can visit, buy wine etc. This village was quaint with historic buildings and we ate very well at a nice restaurant next to the winery along the canal. After that we stopped at HOMPS, also small village but quite historic and a nice walk around with a few different wine establishments. Here one could walk to a med. size supermarket. We also stopped overnight along the canal in the middle of nowhere at Ecluse L'aiguille as we reached too late and they close the locks at a certain time...think 7pm. It was lovely and scenic though and this lock had some interesting works of art made of metal that moved etc. and we took a bike ride to the village about 15 mins. ride... very small and not much to see but historic with lots of old stone bldgs. etc. At Trebes you can also walk around and see the old village etc. Carcassone is after Trebes… lots to see there but this is after your stop. Hope you have a great time.

We are sailing the Canal du Midi for two weeks September - October. We are starting in Negra, one way to Argens. Will bikes be useful? Are there villages we should visit? Where are the best places to moor overnight? Plus any more information welcomed. We are two oldies on a penichette. Thank you!
Written August 19, 2019
Hope you have some help as going through the locks take a bit of work. In towns you should find places to tie up to and if not the boats usually have a hammer and stake that you hit into the side of the canal (into the mud) and tie to that. If you like biking, yes a bike is useful to ride to some villages if you park in the countryside or if you just park next to a village/town, it is usually small and you can walk around. Note the locks close at a certain time in the evening... think 7pm
