Boat holiday in France with Le Boat. Tour around self drive motor boat
We were kindly invited by Le Boat to try out a boating holiday in France. This is a tour around our 39 foot self drive motor boat called Caprice. The tour takes you inside and on the top deck of the boat. We were really surprised by how spacious the Caprice was, with 2 good sized cabins (plus the saloon doubles up as a bedroom for a further two guests), a spacious galley (kitchen), two toilets with showers and sinks (ignore my video that states just one shower, it's two, I hadn't spotted the second at the time!), a large living space in the saloon and two steering stations, one inside and one on top deck outside:) Our full reviews of our week with Le Boat can be found here -

Castelnaudary on the Canal du Midi, France
Castelnaudary (Occitan: Castèlnòu d'Arri)Half way between Toulouse and Carcassonne is a commune in the Aude department in the Languedoc-Roussillon region in south France. It is in the former province of the Lauragais and famous for cassoulet of which it claims to be the world capital, and of which it is a major producer.
Castelnaudary is a market town, and the capital of the territory of Lauragais. The town is located 50 kilometres (31 miles) southeast of Toulouse, about midway along the route from that city to the Mediterranean. This route has been used since at least Roman times, and today carries road, motorway (A61), rail and canal links. Castelnaudary is the main port of the Canal du Midi to which it owed a period of prosperity in the 17th century when agricultural and manufactured produce became easier to export. The Grand Bassin in the town is at 7 ha the largest open area of water in the canal, and is today its major pleasure port.

PASSAGE DES ECLUSES DE SAINT-ROCH, CANAL DU MIDI - CASTELNAUDARY / FRANCE
A Castelnaudary, sur le Canal du Midi, des écluses à voir absolument : les écluses de Saint-Roch. Un bel endroit calme ou coule paisiblement le Canal du Midi, je vous propose ces quelques minutes pour voir le fonctionnement d’une des écluses, comme si vous y étiez… Cette après-midi-là, il faisait 35 degrés, et l'air était un peu plus frais au bord de l'eau sous les platanes.
Un peu d’histoire : le Canal du Midi relie Toulouse à la mer Méditerranée depuis le XVIIème siècle. D'abord nommé « canal royal en Languedoc », les révolutionnaires le rebaptisent en 1789 « canal du Midi ». A Castelnaudary, cette écluse quadruple de Saint Roch est datée de 1678 et permet de franchir un dénivelé de près de 10 mètres. Deux moulins et une minoterie ont été construits sur une dérivation rive droite du canal. La rive gauche accueillait les anciens bâtiments de l'administration et de l'hôtellerie. L’écluse tire son nom de la chapelle Saint Roch construite au XVIe siècle par la confrérie de Saint Roch chargée de soigner les lépreux à cet endroit hors des murs de la ville. Deux moulins furent élevés en 1680 sur la rive droite de l’écluse afin de profiter de la chute d’eau. A proximité de l’écluse Saint Roch on distingue toujours la présence de l’un des cinq moulins à vent qui bordaient la rive gauche depuis la Renaissance.

Castelnaudary, barging in France
this is one of the lovely ports we visit on the Canal du Midi
France, Canal du Midi ,Carcassonne, Bram, Castelnaudary. 40km in 5 minutes - footage sped up
For those looking at cruising the Canal du Midi in South of France, here is a 5 minute version of the 40km of canal & ecluses (locks) from Carcassonne & Castelnaudary. We leisurely took 3 days, pulling up where we wanted and exploring villages along the way. You could do it in 1 day and only see the canal or take your time & wander the villages. On these canal boats, the fridges are small & limits your beer & wine cooling capacity. Crushed ice is hard to find, so if you enjoy a few beers in the afternoon, aim to pull up at the Port of Bram or the Boutique at ecluse de la Peyruque (You can also place an order for croissants the next morning and get personalized Canal du Midi memorabilia at the Boutique)
This boat is a 42 foot Dutch Sturdy previously owned by Murray & Pam LeCouteur
