Canal du Midi – France
🌈 Gay Canal Cruise on the Canal du Midi
France · April (dates to be confirmed)
Discover a different way of cruising — slow, scenic, and deliciously French.
In April, we are launching a brand-new gay river cruise experience on the iconic Canal du Midi, a UNESCO World Heritage site in the south of France. This journey combines relaxed canal navigation, historic villages, wine culture, and great company — all in a friendly and inclusive atmosphere.
This is our first Canal du Midi project, and we are currently in the process of final organization. We wanted to share it early with our community, as we are very excited about this new destination.
