South of France (Canal du Midi)

A barge cruise is a step back from the pressure of the 21st century to a much slower pace,whilst enjoying all the creature comforts of modern day living.

"Emma" will slowly wind her way during the course of the week.for approximately 80 kilometers along the canal which was built during the reign of Louis XIV.

You can visit ancient villages where time appears to stand still, country chateaux where you can taste the wine grown in their own vinyards, shop at the local markets where you will be amazed by the colourful displays of fresh fruit and vegetables, you can cycle along the towpath if you are feeling energetic or you can just relax on board and watch the world glide by. Every day is a different picture.

Whilst you are relaxing and enjoying yourselves, we shall be busy preparing the gourmet meals with which to tempt you,  accompanied by a selection of the very splendid wines of the Languedoc Rouissillon region. Meals will be served either in the dining room or out on deck.
