All meals, food and drinks are included in your cruise.
Your Chef will offer you a wide selection of gastronomic delights. Priority is given to organic produce and when sourcing non-French items Fair Trade products are used whenever possible.

The European Mediterranean diet is well-known throughout the World for being the healthiest, but you don't have to sacrifice flavor for health as you will find out.

All dietary requirements can be catered for and you are welcome to tell us in advance if you have special dietary needs. We will do everything to ensure that your preferences are catered for.

You will taste some typical French local dishes as well as some classics from the national cusine. Each meal will be accompanied by different wines and you will mainly be served excellent vintages from Languedoc and Rousillon (the Minervois, Faugères, St-Chinian, Corbières becoming more and more renowned) straight from the Wine Cellar on board.

You will never be offered the same wine twice during the week - unless you insist on drinking again "that one" you particularly loved !

Soft drinks and mineral waters, tea and coffee are available all day, and there is an Open Bar. Wine is offered at all meals. The Chef will choose wines to complement each course at dinner.

BREAKFAST: For breakfast you will be served a selection of pastries and breads, cereals, yogurts, fruits, fresh fruit juice, cheeses, cold meats, smoked salmon, eggs cooked to order, a selection of teas, coffee, etc

LUNCH AND DINNER: The aim is to introduce you to some of the best examples of French cuisine. Your chef will choose the menu based on the best selection of fresh produce available locally during the season in which you're cruising.

Naturally he or she welcomes knowing your preferences. For example, "no shellfish please"!

Part of the pleasure of a Canal du Midi cruise like this is for you to experience wonderful gourmet meals, prepared individually for you, and served in an unforgettable environment!

Weather permitting your meal is served outside on the deck.

RESTAURANTS: In addition to your meals on board the barge, for a change of scene you will also be invited a meal (drinks included) off the barge in a local restaurant.

LOCAL PRODUCE: You will be cruising in the 'real South of France'. We're so lucky living in this part of Europe because of the fresh fruit and vegetables all year round. Somehow everything seems tastier here: the fish, meats, charcuterie, and cheeses... During your cruise you will definitely experience some wonderful gourmet delights.
