Afloat in France, luxury barge cruising

Alouette Barge

Langorous days in the southern sun while cruising quiet waters to Carcassonne.

Lined by ancient plane trees, the Canal du Midi is an historic waterway renowned for its grandeur and beauty. Ancient abbeys and aqueducts, towering cliffs and castles add drama to its laid-back charm.

The Alouette has been recently refurbished and sleeps 4.
