City Day Tour - Canal du Midi

#citydaytours During my time in Toulouse and nearby day trips like Albi and Carcassonne. My favourite thing was Canal du midi. This gorgeous canal passes by both Toulouse and Carcassone. With over 240 kms long, this canal passes by some spectacular locations that make for great sightseeing spots and activities. Here I have put together a day tour plan which focuses purely on the best exploits around the canal du midi. Starting with a heritage walk that begins from the tourist center in Toulouse. You will pass by several points like the rode bridge, the tripple lock staircase all the way to Trebes. Here you have several restaurants and shops. A bike path to chose between 13 kms to carcassonne or 10 kms to Marseillete. On the path you will come across the Anguilla lock and several wooden characters. The path will pass by rice farms, vineyards and apple orchards as we reach the marseillete lake. A few minutes later as we reach the 13 km carcassonne point. There is a port that offers boat tours. This is a 2 hour long guided tour that will orient you with most beautiful of scenery. Upon return we're headed towards minervois, where we see the argent double spillway bridge. To grab a bite we take a break in homps. The lake side setting even gives the option of swimming and relaxing. Maison des vins du mervois has interesting items for those with the shopping intent. After that break, we head to the pont du canal where we see the famous elm tree at the church square before heading back to Toulouse for dinner and evening of leisure. #summer #europa #myhiddengems #canal #100waysoftravel #france #summerdestinations
