Barge Cruise Itineraries – Roi Soleil

Roi Soleil Barge Cruise Itineraries. French Hotel Barge Roi Soleil offers private barge charters on the Canal du Midi in the south of France

Canal du Midi is our most sought after route – Commissioned by Louis XIV and now on the World Heritage list, this route takes you through rugged and scenic Languedoc. It makes for a charming navigation, the canal twists and turns above the valley and vineyards under a tree canopy. Panoramic views stretching to the Pyrenees will spoil you.

Our route takes in the most scenic part but also the most dramatic locks and canal bridges.

The region of Languedoc unravels a rich history and architecture. Proud people devoted to their terroir and awarded wines will share their passion with you in private tastings across this region.

From history and wine to shopping and nature, the Roi Soleil cruise customizes each day for your passions.

Of course, you can also theme your entire cruise to be a Wine Discovery or a Family cruise.

Bathed in mythic light, so loved by the Impressionist painters, Provence seduces, beguiles, and indulges you. This route, unique to the Roi Soleil, cruises the 3 stunning regions: Provence – cruise at sunset on the Rhone River by the Popes Palace in Avignon; the Camargue – where you can spy the grazing bulls and wild white horses in the nature: and Languedoc through the Canal du Midi – meandering under the trees and discovering new and delicious wines.

Savour a Glass of Chateau Neuf du Pape with the winemaker himself; follow in the footsteps of Vincent Van Gogh in Arles; glide through the lagoon of Thau amongst the oyster beds and the pink flamingoes, pick up some crayfish from the local fishermen for lunch; take a picture as a keepsake.

A charter on Roi Soleil is all about choice. You shape each day of your cruise around your personal interests.
