Canal du Midi Barge Trips

Canals & Waterways

Replete with flora and fauna, rural vistas, and lush vineyards, the Canal du Midi is an idyllic waterway perfect for luxury barging. Lifestyles here are carefree and casual; an abundance of sunshine, water, and wine sets the relaxed tone for Canal du Midi cruises. Boasting roughly 700,000 acres under vines, the Languedoc is the single biggest wine-producing region in the world, being responsible for more than a third of France’s total wine production.

Indulgent Insights

With its proximity to the Mediterranean, the Canal du Midi’s culinary delights focus on “fruits de mer”, sun-kissed produce, and local delicacies such as cold-pressed olive oil and small batch Vermouth. Once known for its production of table wines, recently the Languedoc has elevated its appellations by aligning traditional grape growing methods with innovative techniques. Indeed, any cruise on the Canal du Midi is best enjoyed by fresh seafood and craft cocktails with friends and family!
