Boat on the Canal du Midi near Toulouse

The boat is located between Toulouse and Castelnaudary. This house boat is rented as a river gite; it will not be possible to sail. The goal is to discover the calm and tranquility of the Canal du Midi by staying on the "Dimples". My place is close to several restaurants and family-friendly activities are nearby. (water games, equestrian center, brand village). A bike ride under the plane trees of the bike path is recommended.
