A delightful river cruise under the sun
The canal des deux Mers was created by Baron Riquet (1604 – 1680) and took 14 years to build. Since then the canal has barely changed, it still has the ancient round and oval locks that were constructed in the 17th century and the elegant, Roman styled, arched bridges which are classified as World Heritage for Humanity.
As this fluvial river winds through Agde, a popular small, French southern town excelling in agriculture and fishing, then onwards to the city of Homps, situated at the edge of the Cathar country, it traverses a countryside that tenderly calls to mind the French Riviera.
As you cruise on your barge, through a world where the sun is gently filtered through the thickly forested banks, you will find yourself in a place of colorful flowers and relaxing birdsongs—an idyllic setting for a trip on the water. This is the perfect way to enjoy a unique barging experience, taking in the natural beauty and rich history of the region.

Just sit back, relax, and let time drift by as you gently float along the river…
