Combine a tour with us on the Canal du Midi during your stay at La Souqueto B&B

 

We are delighted to announce that 2025 will see us resuming our well received boat tours on the Canal du Midi…Our Classic Broads Cruiser Bella Mia is currently undergoing restoration work and so we have acquired ‘Nova’ a 12.5 metre coastal cruiser to take guests for trips along the southern stretches of the Canal du Midi.

We offer a variety of tours from 2 hour excursions to full day. During the past twelve years we have arranged some memorable days out for guests. We taken them by boat to Auberge de la Croisade, a fabulous restaurant situated on the banks of the Canal one and a half ours from our mooring (10 mins by car). Then taken them back to base after lunch by boat.

We’ve taken a family of four to the famous Fonseranes Locks in Beziers. It’s a 4 hour trip so we moored up for the night; the family then walked into the City to explore and have an evening meal before staying on the boat over night. I returned the following morning to do the return trip. Over the years we’ve hosted birthday parties, renewing of wedding vows, wine tasting and family gatherings on our boat. Its a great day out!

The Canal du Midi is a UNESCO World Heritage Site that was built between 1667 and 1694. It paved the way for the French Industrial Revolution. The Canal’s purpose was to make a direct connection between the Atlantic and Mediterranean. It is over 240 km long and winds through four French departments.
