This stop combines culinary discovery,especially duck products,with a museum dedicated to the Canal du Midi. A great place to learn and enjoy regional flavors.

Seuil de Naurouze

The Seuil de Naurouze marks the highest point of the Canal du Midi. Here, waters arriving from the Montagne Noire split in two,flowing westward to the Atlantic and eastward to the Mediterranean. It is the watershed line. Set off on a hike through the Lauragais hills surrounding the Seuil de Naurouze. You’ll discover villages with Cathar heritage, follow part of the Arles Way (one of the routes to Santiago de Compostela), and enjoy sweeping views over a stunning landscape.

Le Ségala

Visit the historic NOT pottery workshop (active since 1820) and learn how the iconic earthenware cassoulet dish is made.

Castelnaudary

Discover the town from the water aboard your barge, reflecting in the grand basin of Castelnaudary. Moor at the small basin to explore the 13th-century Saint-Michel Collegiate Church and the Cugarel Windmill, and to taste Castelnaudary’s famous cassoulet.
