Midi Canal with Nicols

From Le Somail

From the charming small port of Le Somail, cruise away to discover the Canal du Midi in the direction of Carcassonne or if your cruising time permits, down to Narbonne close to the Mediterranean sea. You will cruise on the largest pound of France (52 km without any locks) up to the Fonserannes staircase, situated close to the historic city of Béziers. A few kilometres more of navigation and you arrive, via Agde, at Etang du Thau, famous for its oyster beds.

From Port Lauragais: Quite close to Carcassonne, the Canal du Midi offers you the best aspect from the shade of the plane trees, at the foot of the Black Mountains. You can visit numerous small villages and restaurants on the canal side. In this sunny region, the success of your holiday is ensured cruising along the canal classified by UNESCO as a World Heritage site.
