Cruise the picturesque Canal du Midi in fine style, with a private charter of the luxurious Alouette. Tours are included, taking you to Capestang, Le Somail, Narbonne, Minerve, and the walled town of Carcassonne.
Begin your exploration of the Canal du Midi with a visit to the Cistercian monastery of L'Abbaye de Fontfroide, followed the next day with a tour of the pre-Roman settlement of Oppidum d'Enserune, overlooking the remarkable circular patchwork landscape of Montady.
In Narbonne, enjoy a bistro lunch before travelling from Homps to the cliff-top village of Minerve. The medieval fortress town of Carcassonne is the final call on this cruise, where you can explore the fortifications and the stunning cathedral.
