Canal du Midi barge hire - Béziers & Narbonne Access

Under the shade of great plane trees of the Canal du Midi, you’ll enjoy a rich regional cuisine of succulent dishes and magnificent wines. Before you arrive in Carcassonne with its crenelated towers, you will already have got a taste of the South with its large white stone fortified towns, and its medieval villages like the ones at Trèbes or Puicheric. Before you reach the junction for Port la Nouvelle, you will go under Le Somail bridge. Narbonne was the biggest Roman city in Gaul. There you can find one of Europe’s last five bridges lined with old and still inhabited houses. In the centre of the town, the Palais des Archevêques and Saint-Just cathedral make up an exceptional ensemble. At Béziers the Gothic cathedral of St. Nazaire towers over the hometown of Pierre Paul Riquet. It is time to go and have a swim in the clear blue waters of the Mediterranean for unforgettable boating holidays in France.
