Skippered Self-Catering Barge on the Canal Du Midi
Ever wanted to cruise the Canal du Midi on a Barge with all the benefits of a self-catering holiday, without the responsibility of having to skipper the vessel?
This unique holiday experience is perfect for friends and family who want the casualness of a self-catering escape but like a bit of luxury. The owners of the Barge take care of the navigation, locks etc (you are welcome to assist); all you have to do is sit back and watch the life on the canal unfold. If you feel active grab a bike and explore!
You are in charge of your own catering and have full use of the Galley, you can choose to dine ashore in a local restaurant (some Michelin quality), or just grab a takeaway. Your hosts are always on hand to advise the best places to eat.
