Athos Languedoc–Roussillon, France (Canal du Midi)
Every spring, the fresh and polished luxury barge, “Athos”, cruises the historic Canal du Midi. Onboard,
relax on deck with a rosé in hand as Athos meanders through some of the Languedoc’s most vibrant and
charming southern villages; under low 16th century bridges, past rustic stable houses and onto the endless
vineyards of this great region.
Athos is the canal cruise choice for travellers who not only enjoy the
magnificent ‘paysage’ of the south, but also those who enjoy luxurious
accommodation, gourmet French food and wine, the sunny Mediterranean
climate and gracious service by an attentive crew.
