Le Cathare: The Unmissable Cruise on the Canal du Midi in Vias-Plage.
Set sail on a unique getaway in the heart of a UNESCO World Heritage Site with one of our 90-minute cruises, suitable for everyone!
Just a stone’s throw from the beach, the Le Cathare boat invites you on an exceptional cruise along the legendary Canal du Midi. Far from the crowds, glide along in complete serenity and choose your cruise from the following options:
> ‘Les Ouvrages’ Cruise: Sail through the Ouvrages du Libron, a system of movable aqueduct bridges unique in the world, designed to allow the river to pass through – a technical feat of the 19th century. A peaceful, guided cruise through the surrounding countryside lasting around 1½ hours.
> ‘Bateau-Rando’ Package: The Active Getaway: The best of both worlds! First, enjoy a 45-minute guided cruise along the canal, then disembark for a walk along the shaded banks. A gentle excursion combining relaxation on the water with a leisurely stroll in the countryside (2.5 km). Suitable for all.
> “Nature” Cruise: A fun, guided tour! Discover the Canal du Midi and its historic structures, and enjoy a unique nature experience with a specialist guide from the Bagnas Nature Reserve. Games and activities focusing on birds, local wildlife and wetlands. A fascinating link between the Canal du Midi, the Bagnas lake and our natural heritage
> ‘Vigneronne’ Cruise: ***NEW FOR 2026*** In partnership with Domaine de la Massole, come and sample the estate’s wines, as well as delicious pomegranate juice and olive oil, accompanied by some light snacks! A fun introduction to vitiforestry — a sustainable and innovative form of agriculture — and, of course, with historical commentary on the canal and its unique structures.
Relaxing and educational activities for all ages, allowing you to be lulled by the calm of the cruise and feel at one with nature.
