We have more than 150 hotels in Central Paris + Dijon and Strasbourg. Our recommendation is to arrive Thursday and allow your body to adjust to jet lag so that your cruise experience is without the drag of jet lag.

Clair de Lune 6 passengers Canal du Midi South of France Sunshine is a given
|
|
Clair de Lune
travel on the beautiful Canal du Midi in the South of France
where sunshine is a given. This canal is argued by some to be
the most beautiful in France. I would not disagree.
But the Midi was built 250 years ago when boats were
smaller. The normal size canal boat will not fit into the
locks. Clair de Lune is not a barge conversion but was
built specifically for this canal. It is magnificent. Retail prices from $6300 per person double. A charter for 6 persons is $33,000-- 5 persons is $31,950 and 4 persons is $30,600.
