French Canals

Hi , I hope someone can help we are planning to do a canal barge/boat in the Midi region in the south of France. I have heard its lovely but am wondering if anyone can tell me what its really like.

Is this area as nice as other areas?Also any hints on what to take or do, we will probably hire bikes and have them with us on the boat.

We will be doing this hopefully in the beggining of June...

Huckell,

A quick forum search using key words: canal, barge, boating, etc. should yield informative and immediate results.

It is very beautiful in this region, a good mix of the ancient with places like Carcassonne and a modern vibrant town like Toulouse. The canal is very pretty, lots of shade from the huge Plane trees as June can be very hot. The Canal runs through lots of interesting places, with a bike you should be able to see some great sights.
