Canal du Midi Wine Barge Cruise
Pierre-Paul Riquet spent 15 years and his entire fortune building a canal to connect the Atlantic to the Mediterranean — 240 kilometers of hand-dug waterway through the south of France. He died on October 1, 1680, bankrupt and exhausted, with five kilometers left to dig. They finished it without him. Today you float through the 328 locks he engineered, past the plane trees his workers planted, stopping at canalside villages where vignerons pour Minervois and Corbières straight from the towpath. The man never saw a single boat make the crossing.
