SELF DRIVE RIVER BOAT RENTALS FROM Homps


 

The Homps base is the starting point for one-way cruises to Carcassonne, Agde, Colombiers or Carnon. Homps is located in the heart of the vineyards of Minervois and Corbières, so you can visit the cellars of producers.

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.
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.

You can moor anywhere along the banks on the Canal du Midi and in the Camargue.
