One of the major advantages in slowly cruising your way down the Canal is that each day can pretty much be as you like it, including visits to tiny market towns you’d never see on a traditional tourist route, going for a ride on the idyllic cycling routes, or discovering the old castles, churches and ruins dotted throughout the countryside from the Cathar movement in the 12th century.

The Canal also passes through one of the country’s finest wine regions, Languedoc. This includes, smaller, boutique regions like Herault, the Aude, Minervois and Corbieres.

A riverboat cruise on the “Royal River” itself, south of the Brittany coast, or barge cruising on one of the inland Loire tributaries: The Cher in the Loire Valley & Chateaux Country, and the Canal Lateral a la Loire, in the Upper Loire, which is especially popular for enchantingly introducing you to life in the slow lane.

Whatever your choice is, this cruise will take you to the heart of authentic "terroirs" and characterful cities with colorful heritage.
