Van Gogh-Style Brightness

Connecting Toulouse to the Mediterranean, the Canal du Midi is characterized by the extraordinary light that inspired Van Gogh. Steeped in history thanks to cities like Carcassonne and its medieval citadel, or Narbonne—the first Roman colony outside Italy—it offers a bountiful culinary experience where cassoulet and sausages take center stage.

And to help you fully enjoy this charming itinerary, your route is organized around three stopover towns, from which you can explore looped routes that give you complete freedom to set your own pace. Cruise along the Canal’s roads at your own pace, savoring the pleasure of taking in the stunning scenery and stopping at every turn to discover a piece of history.
