We are dedicated to ensuring you have the perfect boating holiday
Belle du Midi Cruises is a family owned and run French registered boat-hire business. We pride ourselves on our personal service from your initial enquiry to the end of your holiday (and sometimes beyond!).
We are dedicated to making sure all your arrangements run smoothly and a cruise on the beautiful Canal du Midi fulfils your dreams of the perfect boating holiday.
We offer a choice of easy-to-drive (no licence or previous experience required) luxury or classic river cruisers, built and maintained to exacting standards. Our personal service extends to making sure you have plenty of time to familiarise yourselves with the boat and its handling before you embark on your cruise.
Our boats are moored at the idyllic hamlet of Le Somail, on a 54 kilometre stretch of lock-free canal, the perfect setting for the beginning of your adventure. Le Somail is situated only 35 mins drive from Carcassonne airport (Ryanair flights from Stansted) and we can arrange taxi transfers.
We can also arrange shopping supplies to be placed on board ready for your arrival. Barry and Alison Entwistle are on hand to personally answer all your queries with their knowledge of the canal and its region.
