Barge Atmosphere ~ an introduction to barge cruising on the Canal du Midi and Anjodi:
In the 17th century in the south of France, Pierre-Paul Riquet created a masterpiece. His
canvas stretched from the Atlantic to the Mediterranean Sea... Riquet engineered the
Canal du Midi, a 240 km long canal which along with the Canal de Garonne connects the
Atlantic to the Mediterranean. The canal is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
What was once a primary waterway for commerce and trade, the Canal du Midi is now a
recreational mecca for canal boating and barge cruising. For over thirty years, European
Waterways has been fine-tuning its fleet of luxury hotel barges, boasting a resplendent
flotilla of some of the finest luxury vessels to ply the canal. This past fall, Wave Journey
enjoyed the warm embrace of Anjodi and her crew for an unforgettable journey along the
Canal du Midi from Le Somail to Marseillan in the Languedoc region of southern France.
Anjodi, a classic Dutch barge refurbished in African hardwoods, rich handcrafted paneling
and brass accents, effuses old-world charm. With four staterooms, allowing for a
maximum of eight passengers, this 102' x 16.5' barge provided us with a delightful setting
for intimate socializing and grand camaraderie with our fellow passengers. The spacious
deck with ample and comfortable seating afforded unbridled views of the fall foliage as
we cruised along the plane tree-lined canal. The salon with comfy couches, loads of
reading material, games and music made for a perfect respite before easing into the
dining area for meal after meal of gastronomic pleasure created primarily from regional
delicacies, local produce, cheeses and wines.
Anjodi lends itself to decadence. The feel of luxury abounds. A week on this luxury barge
hotel provides ample time to relax, be quiet and contemplative with picture-book
surroundings, explore amazingly gorgeous villages, as well as, historical sites and
wineries. If a guest is so inclined, a walk or a bike ride on the towpath is easily
accomplished just by asking. The slow pace of the barge makes for easy coordinating of
exercise along the path. Thank goodness for digital photography, as photo opportunities
are endless along the canal. Anjodi is an idyllic getaway for a family or a group of friends.
Short of that, count on your fellow passengers becoming friends soon after the
champagne welcome!
