Ideas for Canal du Midi
Boating on the Canal du Midi
The Canal du Midi is a UNESCO-listed waterway running from Toulouse to the Étang de Thau, lined in many places with plane trees and dotted with old locks. Boating here means calm water, a slow pace and stops in villages and wine towns; a week usually covers one section rather than the whole canal.
Where to go by boat
Carcassonne
Moor near the town and walk up to the medieval Cité.
Fonserannes Locks
A staircase of locks near Béziers with views over the city.
Le Somail
Quiet canal hamlet with an old humpback stone bridge.
Castelnaudary
Home of cassoulet, set around the canal’s broad Grand Bassin.
Tip: Hire boats need no licence, but locks only operate during the day, so plan each stage around them.
