A
cruise in the sunshine - The canal des Deux Mers, between
the ocean and the sea was the brainchild of Baron Riquet.
It took fourteen years to build. Practically nothing has
changed since its opening : round and oval locks that work
as they used to in the seventeenth century, elegant arched
bridge in Roman style...
From
Agde, a famous little southern town dedicated to agriculture
and fishing, the canal lazily meanders through a romantic
landscape, full of a thousand Mediterranean Fragrances. Under
the sun which fillers through the leaves of the plane trees,
among the shimmering tones of multicoloured flowers, amid
the profuse song of crickets and grasshoppers, your cruise
will be a never ending delight. You will relish in the pleasure
of being with your family or friends, of walking or riding
on the towpaths, of stopping over at historic or gastronomic
places totally losing track of time. These are the memories
that you will keep of your cruise on the Canal du Midi.
