A stopover on the Canal du Midi
The Canal du Midi is a veritable link between the Atlantic, the Languedoc and the Mediterranean. From Toulouse and Carcassonne to the Etang de Thau, it traverses magnificent landscapes and invites you to relax. Narbonne is a stopover on the Canal du Midi, so don’t hesitate to cruise its waters on your own.
Renting a barge, boat or canoe is the ideal way to get up close and personal with the waters of the Canal du Midi. Lulled by the song of the cicadas, in the shade of cypress and umbrella pines, amidst the vineyards, time seems to stand still. You’ll enjoy a smooth ride and a unique, fascinating experience.
A side branch of the Canal du Midi takes you through Narbonne. This is the Canal de la Robine, which links the Aude to the Mediterranean Sea, on the former bed of the Aude river. This canal, like the Canal du Midi, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
On foot, by bike or on horseback, in the shade of the plane trees, stroll along the banks of the Canal de la Robine to spend some very pleasant family time during your visit to Narbonne.
