The EuroClassic 139 Grand Cru is the perfect choice for your Capestang, South of France holiday in France on the Canal-du-Midi.

Based on the Grand Bief“ the longest lock free section in France. The port offices are in the old stables where boats would exchange their horses for fresh ones before continuing their journey along the canal. This is the oldest part of the canal du Midi and is a contour“ canal this means that the canal twists and turns along the edge of the hills through villages and vineyards and provides lovely vistas across the countryside to the Pyrenees in the distance.

 

It is an ancient village the impressive and apparently incomplete church is visible from miles around and is often seen from the canal. This Church was in fact damaged during the Cather“ wars and has never been fully repaired. The town has a 7 bars & restaurants many shops and a supermarket there is a village market and numerous vineyards offering tastings and selling the much improved local wines. The village square is a bustling  hub in the evenings the locals come out to promenade and the two bars with their al fresco“ tables and chairs compete for your patronage.

 

Clive Hillier is the base manager. Originally from Crawley he is now settled in the Midi and enjoys the Mediterranean life style! He is helped by Franz & Davy who are both locals despite their non-French names! Between them they have an excellent knowledge of the canal the sites to see and the best restaurants to sample and will be only too happy to provide the advice that will make your holiday a cruise to remember.
