Canals in Europe
Gascony, France
Much of the canal is lined with trees, making it perfect for bicycle rides along the two banks. The Saint Louis boat is a great choice for this route. It’s specially driven by a woman. Plus, Captain Wendy used to be a designer. Her eye for design is on the boat, from the hand-painted furniture to the little Flower Festival she prepares every morning.
Canal du Midi, France
The Canal du Midi, the most famous of the French canals, was built in the 17th century. It took 12,000 workers 14 years to dig the 150-mile canal. Today, it’s one of the oldest working canals in the world. It offers a truly historical experience, with visits to the Roman ruins and weekly market at Narbonne.
