Tuesday, Day 3 - Portiragnes to Beziers
Begin the day with golf at Golf de St Thomas (18 hole, 6130m par 72).  This 18 hole course offers various types of play: woods, hills, lakes and on some fairways a more classic approach.  Following the golf, we visit Pezenas, a delightful village, mostly known for its associations with the French play write Moliere, who is said to have written many plays while staying there.  We then cruise to the bottom of the Fonseranes 7 lock flight at Beziers where we continue along the 300-year old, tree lined Canal du Midi.    Dinner ashore.

Located at the foot of Mt Carooux by the River Orb, this course with its three small lakes, is flat, wooded, short, technical and most enjoyable.  Dinner aboard.

Thursday, Day 5 - Poilhes to Argeliers
A morning visit to Narbonne, a Roman Mediterranean capital where the Visigoth monarchs once lived.  Enjoy the  Archbishop’s Palace and Horreum.  Explore the indoor market at the hub of this bustling town, where you will have time to shop or simply absorb the relaxed atmosphere.  Return to the barge for a cruise along the shaded canal to Argeliers, stopping off en route at Domaine de Guery, a 500-year old, canal side vineyard, for a pre-dinner wine tasting of the full-bodied Corbieres.  Dinner aboard

With its 52 watchtowers, portcullis and extraordinary repertoire of defences, it resisted the many armies that tried to storm this Camelot setting.  In the afternoon we cruise along the historic Midi Canal to the delightful village of Le Somail.  Captain's Farewell Dinner aboard.
