SELF DRIVE RIVER BOAT RENTALS FROM Port Cassafières


 

At 1.5 km from the beaches, the Port Cassafières base is as close to the Mediterranean as possible. This base is the starting point for one-way cruises on the Canal du Midi to Narbonne, Homps or Castelnaudary or on the Camargue to Saint-Gilles or Beaucaire. 
The one-way or the navigation towards the Carmargue while crossing the Etang de Thau can be canceled or interrupted if the climatic conditions, in particular the wind, do not allow to pass the Etang de Thau. This does not prevent you from sailing while waiting for the reopening of the pond to navigation.

The locks are automatic or electric and manned by lock keepers. The locks are closed the 1st of may .

The ladder of locks at Fonsérannes (near Béziers) is very busy during the high season. Frontignan Bridge opens twice a day, in the morning and mid-afternoon.
