Camargue

SELF DRIVE RIVER BOAT RENTALS FROM Carcassonne


 

One of the most beautiful cities of the Canal du Midi. Before leaving for your cruise, take the time, at least a few hours to discover the city of Carcassonne. This base is the starting point for a one-week cruise to Agde or Homps or Colombiers.

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.
