Hôtel de La Cité Gabriella

Cruising The Canal Du Midi

Discover the Canal du Midi, constructed in the 17th century and classified on the Unesco World Heritage List, aboard our canal cruiser, the Gabriella.

Along this waterway, you will discover the little port of Trèbes, the village of Villedubert, and engineering feats dating back to the 17th century - an aqueduct-bridge, a triple lock, all set along a romantic horse towpath lined by plane trees, with vineyards in the background.


The history of the Canal will come alive with commentaries and explanations from our crew, who are at your disposal throughout the cruise. Local wines and soft drinks are available on board for your pleasure.
