ALOUETTE
Luxury
French barge cruises along the Canal du Midi
in the south of France
Newly refurbished to the highest standards,
Alouette accommodates up
to 4 guests in two well-appointed suites. Her sun deck provides the
perfect place to relax and enjoy the passing scenery. Alouette cruises
the beautiful tree-lined Canal du Midi between Carcassonne and Béziers
and is the ideal barge for a family holiday.
 Languedoc-Roussillon
is a region famous for its wines and gorgeous countryside and a rich
historical texture. The Canal du Midi was built in the 17th century and
was an engineering marvel of its time. Fortified villages, castles and
market towns provide a varied itinerary. Highlights of this area
include Carcassonne, the most complete medieval, fortified city
existing today.
Stretching from the Mediterranean
Sea to the Atlantic Ocean, the man-made waterways of the Canal du Midi
and the Canal Latéral à la Garonne form France's longest navigable
artificial waterway. Together they are called the Canal Des Deux
Mers.
