Colombiers - The New Base in the Sun

A weekend or two-week cruise, with family or friends, from Carnon Put together the waterway cruise of your dreams, departing from our base in Carnon. Choose your houseboat from our wide range and then decide upon the experiences you wish to include. We’ll train you on handling your licence-free boat so you can head off on the Canal du Rhône à Sète or the emblematic Canal du Midi with total peace of mind. The only thing you’ll need to worry about is having fun !

Welcome to the heart of the Camargue and its exceptional landscapes. From Carnon, you can head towards Aigues Mortes, where you’ll be able to moor up and enjoy the wealth of attractions the town has to offer. There are some spectacular fortifications here, and you’re sure to be amazed by Constance and Carbonnière Towers. Take the time to cross these ramparts and stroll in the narrow streets of this fortified city. Notable buildings to admire include the Pénitents Blancs and Pénitents Gris Chapels.

Close to Béziers, the celebrated locks of Fonsérannes undeniably constitute the most impressive structure along the Canal du Midi. This ladder of locks in succession allows one to rise 21.5 meters in height over the course of 300 meters. Originally made up of 9 locks, only 7 are still in service today

  • To see : 9 locks of Fonsérannes, Béziers, Canal du Midi, church Saint Silvestre, the pond dried up by Montady-Colombiers, the site of Malpas, Via Domitia, the ancient wine cellar of Chateau.
  • To know : Along the way Domitienne, on a small headland which overhangs a pond, Colombiers settled down during the centuries, by being not very situated well far from Béziers.
  • Most Important : The port in semicircle of Colombiers
