The 300 year old Canal du Midi was once considered to be one of the greatest works of construction of the 17th century. This beautiful canal stretches along sun-soaked shores of the Mediterranean before meandering inland through vineyards and ancient villages. It is known internationally for its breathtaking scenery, we’ve chosen 10 photos to show you exactly why the Midi should be your next cruise destination.
