Our articles about the Canal Du Midi

Carcassonne: a town, a city, a unique history… Carcassonne is a city in the Department of Aude, in the south of France, known worldwide for its medieval city, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1997. It is situated in a strategic place, along the road which connects the Mediterranean Sea with the Atlantic Ocean. It is one of the most touristy places in Occitanie, and renting a self-drive canal boat on the Canal du Midi to get to it is an unmissable experience!

Le Boat, European leader in the rental of boats without a licence, is joining the initiative of the Voies Navigables de France to help preserve the Canal du Midi’s plane trees. An architectural jewel listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Canal du Midi is affected by the canker stain disease. The replanting program set up by Voies Navigables de France aims to preserve the biodiversity of the most famous canal in France, which thousands of customers discover each year on board our boats. Find out what we’re doing to help and learn how you can get involved in restoring this beautiful boating holiday region.
