Happiness on the riverbanks

Connecting Toulouse to the Mediterranean, the Canal du Midi, built between 1667 and 1682, is considered the greatest engineering feat of the 17th century. Your journey, organized in loops around four stopover towns, will allow you to appreciate its ingenuity and explore it at your own pace. In Carcassonne, we suggest you visit the medieval city, whose fortifications stretch for nearly 3 km and house the count's castle and the Basilica of Saint-Nazaire.

Looking for something different? Narbonne invites you to explore an underground labyrinth of ancient warehouses (horreum) dating back to Roman times. In Béziers, located on a majestic promontory, you can admire the canal's masterpiece: the nine locks of Fonseranes. Then in Sète, bordered by the Thau lagoon and nicknamed the little Venice of Languedoc, the terminus: the Mediterranean and sandy beaches await you. What a delight along the water!

Another way to discover Europe

4 STOPOVER CITIES: this way of traveling allows you to put down your suitcase and take it easy. Your itinerary, designed as loops around four stopover cities, limits the number of trips you have to make and gives you plenty of time to discover and enjoy the places you visit. Make the most of it!
