Barging Holiday

A typical scene on Canal du Midi in the south of France, still one of the best ways to travel through a country - by barge that is.  Travelling at your own pace, stopping where you like, when you like, shopping in medieval markets, preparing your own food on the barge, sleeping on the barge.............no catching of trains, planes & automobiles on a schedule, no hotel or restaurant reservations, no carrying of your luggage around.
