Itinerary
 Day 1 :
Meet at the Metropole Hotel in Montpellier at 4:00 pm and transfer to 'Anjodi,' moored in Marseillan, for a champagne welcome.
Day 2 :
Cruise from Marseillan 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.
Day 3 :
Today visit Pézenas, a delightful village associated with French dramatist Molière. Then cruise to Béziers with overnight mooring at the foot of the Fonserannes Lock Staircase.
Day 4 :
'Anjodi' ascends the seven locks at Fonserannes this morning, continuing to the world's oldest canal tunnel at Malpas. On arrival at the picturesque village of Poilhes, take an excursion to Minerve, the ancient capital of Minervois, where there are spectacular views from the 12th-century Cathar fort.
Day 5 :
Visit Narbonne today to see the fortress-like Archbishop's Palace and explore the delightful indoor market. Later, cruise along the winding canal to Argeliers with a wine tasting at the 500-year-old vineyard at Domaine de Guery.
Day 6 :
Today 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. In the late afternoon, cruise to the overnight mooring at the village of Le Somail for a special farewell dinner.
Day 7 :
After breakfast, transfer back to the Metropole Hotel in Montpellier, where your tour ends.
