A luxury barge cruise on the Canal du Midi in southern France is the ultimate in relaxation. Delicious wines from local vineyards, gourmet cuisine prepared by the onboard chef and visits to quaint hamlets along the way take you back to a slower world, away from the pressures of modern living. The canal itself is an amazing work of engineering dating from the 17th century. While cruising the canal, you will see small stone bridges, a set of “stair-step” locks, and an aqueduct that allows the canal to cross over a river flowing below it.
