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 it. Almost nothing has changed since its
opening: round and oval locks that work as they used to in the seventeenth
century, elegant arched bridges in Roman style, etc... From Agde, a famous
little southern town dedicated to agriculture (olives, wine, fruits) and
fishing, the canal lazily meanders through a romantic landscape, full of
thousand Mediterranean fragrances. Under the sun which filters through the
leaves of plane trees, among the shimmering tones of multi-coloured flowers,
amid the 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 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 Midi canal.
