luxury barge cruise vacations on the Anjodi, cruising the
Canal du Midi, South of France
Beziers to Carcassonne

Sunday, Day 1 - Marseillan
You will be met at Hotel Metropole, Montpellier, at 4pm and escorted by minibus to Anjodi moored in the lake side fishing village of Marseillan, enjoying a view over the oyster beds and Noilly Prat vermouth.  Champagne welcome followed by time for a relaxing stroll around this lovely fishing village before dinner aboard.

Monday, Day 2 - Marseillan to Portiragnes
This morning we enjoy a round of golf at Cap d'Agde.  This golf course is located in a colourful landscape created by one of the world's most renowned architects, Ronald Fream.  An outstanding and inventive course whose greens are jealously protected by bunkers that you will never forget.  (18 holes, 6,301m, Par 72).  Return to the barge and enjoy a late seafood lunch whilst cruising the lagoon and reach our mooring for the night in Portiragnes where there is an opportunity of a sea swim.  Light dinner aboard.

Tuesday, Day 3 - Portiragnes to Beziers
We then cruise to the bottom of the Fonseranes 7 lock flight at Beziers where we continue along the 300 year old tree lined Canal du Midi.   After lunch we golf at Golf de St Thomas.  This course offers various types of play: woods, hills, lakes and on some fairways a more classic approach. (18 holes, par 72,  6130m).  Return to the barge and enjoy an aperitif before dinner ashore in Beziers.

Wednesday, Day 4 - Beziers to Poilhes
A morning visit to Narbonne, a Roman Mediterranean capital where the Visigoth monarchs once lived.  Enjoy the  Archbishop’s Palace and Horreum.  Explore the indoor market at the hub of this bustling town, where you will have time to shop or simply absorb the relaxed atmosphere.  After lunch we cross the aqueduct over the River Orb and then ascend the 7-lock flight of Fonseranes before reaching the world’s oldest canal tunnel at Malpas and then arrive at the picturesque village of Poilhes for our nights mooring.  Dinner on board.

Thursday, Day 5 - Poilhes to Le Somail
This morning we play golf at Lamalou-les-Bains Golf Course located at the foot of Mt Carooux by the River Orb, this course with its three small lakes, is flat, wooded, short, technical and most enjoyable. (9 holes, 2,600m, Par 35).  Return to the barge for a cruise along the shaded canal to Argeliers, and then onto our final mooring in Le Somail.  Dinner aboard

Friday, Day 6 - Le Somail
Fascinating morning tour of Carcassonne.  Dating back to the Gallo-Roman era, this is the most complete mediaeval fortified city in existence today with its 52 watchtowers, portcullis and extraordinary repertoire of defences, which resisted the many armies that tried to storm this glorious Camelot setting.  Enjoy Cassoulet in Carcassonne before golf at Golf de Carcassonne. Challenging water obstacles and bunkers make this a tactical golf course for players of all levels.  (18 holes, 5,800m, Par 71) Captain's Farewell Dinner aboard.

Saturday, Day 7 - Le Somail to Montpellier

After breakfast, depart from Le Somail by minibus to Montpellier.  Expected arrival time 10am
