'Anjodi' -- Canal du Midi & Provence & The Camargue

Day 1
Meet at the Holiday Inn in Montpellier and transfer to 'Anjodi,' moored in Marseillan, for a champagne welcome. (D)

Day 2
Cruise to Portiragnes to visit the old Greco- Phoenician port of Agde. Explore the narrow, medieval streets carved from the Languedocian hills' black volcanic stone. After lunch, enjoy a wine tasting at Château de Perdiguier, a 14th-century castle that is home to the Feracci family. (B,L,D)

Day 3
Visit Pézenas, a delightful town rich with artisans that has also attracted actors, singers and performing artists — most notably the 17th-century playwright Molière. Then cruise to Béziers with overnight mooring at the foot of the Fonserannes Lock Staircase. (B,L,D)

Day 4
Today 'Anjodi' ascends the seven locks at Fonserannes, continuing to the world's oldest canal tunnel at Malpas. From the picturesque village of Poilhes, take an excursion to Minerve, ancient capital of the Minervois, where there are spectacular views from the 12th-century Cathar fort. (B,L,D)

Day 5
Visit Narbonne today to see the fortresslike Archbishop's Palace and explore the delightful indoor market. Later, cruise along the winding canal to the rural village of Argeliers with a wine tasting of the full-bodied Corbières at the 500-year-old canalside vineyard at Domaine de Guery. (B,L,D)

Day 6
Visit the fascinating walled city of Carcassonne, the most complete medieval fortified city still in existence. The old town, called "La Cité," looks much as it did in the Middle Ages. It is surrounded by a double circuit of walls and towers, and there is time to explore the winding, cobblestoned streets. In the late afternoon, cruise to the village of Le Somail for a special farewell dinner on board the barge. (B,L,D)

Day 7
After breakfast, transfer to the Holiday Inn in Montpellier, where your program ends. (B)

Graceful 'Anjodi' glides along the Canal du Midi with its many picturesque locks. At the end of the season, she cruises through Provence and the mysterious Camargue along the Mediterranean coast.
