Heat and aroma from the LanguedocThe largest boating region in Europe for self drive canal boats is France offers a great variety of landscapes to cruise through. From the Breton waterways, which are steeped in history to the Midi with its stunning sunshine and sparkling waters, there is a region to please everyone.

A land that is steeped in history - castles and regal looking buildings simply emerge from the landscape as you cruise through the heart of the region.

Local people are more than happy to celebrate their ancient customs and on many occasions you will be lucky enough to take part in their festivities.

Flower adorned locks and winding wooded valleys can be found on this landscape, where nature simply flourishes. These beautiful regions are best enjoyed from the water.

Traveling further south you can find the stunning landscapes and sparkling waters of southern France. Here you can relax in the area’s balmy climate and enjoy the taste of the Mediterranean through the region’s gastronomic delights.

A fishing licence is necessary in France, but these are easily obtained from numerous fishing shops that can be found in towns and villages along the canals. Once this has been obtained you can join in this popular activity and cast off and meet new friends along the banks.
