Located on the banks of the Canal du Midi, between the pretty village of Colombiers and the town of Beziers, Residence les Berges du Canal offers a peaceful holiday environment amongst the vineyards.

Residence les Berges du Canal is a serene place to quietly while away sunny days, take walks or cycle along the Canal du Midi and explore the surrounding countryside. Yet within a 10 minute drive you find the busy town of Beziers, and within 15 minutes the beaches of the Med. The A9 motorway is within a 10 minute drive

The Complex  On site facilities include an outdoor swimming pool, open May - September, and a heated indoor pool open year round. As well as the reception and bar there is a basketball court, table tennis and an area to play boules. A full entertainment programme is provided July & August, but for the other 10 months of the year this is a place to relax, read a book, have a BBQ and enjoy a glass of wine or two. The residence is a gated community and access is by electronic key card. 

The accommodation There is a choice of self catering accommodation varying in size sleeping up to 6 people. As the homes are individually owned, facilities and furnishings may differ. Kitchens are equipped with a fridge, microwave and hob, some have a dishwasher and/or washing machine (for those without there is a laundrette on site). Each house has a patio with garden furniture.

Places of interest Exit the complex and follow the canal, on foot or bicycle, in one direction, and you will reach the charming village and small port of Colombiers. Here you can sip a glass of wine, or enjoy a meal at the port and watch the canal boats. Very relaxing! You can also hire a boat from here by the hour, the half day or day if you fancy playing at Rick Stein yourself. To walk along the tow path into Colombiers takes approximately 50 minutes, but it really is a nice walk. 

Follow the tow path in the other direction and you will reach the famous 'neuf ecluses' where you can watch the canal boats and barges navigate the 9 locks. During the summer months there is a cafe open, and from here you can take the little tourist train into Beziers. The walk to the 9 locks takes approximately 35 minutes. A little further on you will reach the aquaduct where the Canal crosses the River Orb, and then the Quai Port Neuf area where you can have a drink or meal and watch the canal boats and barges. 

Beziers, just a 10 minute drive away, is a large cathedral town with some good shopping amongst the old narrow streets. See our Beziers page for further info 

The nearest beach is Valras plage, a modern beach resort with many facilities including shops and restaurants. However if it's solitude you prefer there are miles of sandy beaches to choose from within a 30 minute drive. 

Also within a half hours drive are the towns of St Chinian, Pezenas, Narbonne, the Canalside town of Capestang, and numerous vineyards offering tastings.

Dear Adele and Iain, Just to say many many thanks for your help and patience whilst staying at Berges du Canal May 2009 The excursions you provided were excellent value for money and well organised with your valuable knowledge of local area.

Thankyou again, Regards Sharon Dodd 
 
Thank you to both of you for a fab holiday. Everyone was so friendly and the house was great, and in a superb location too, with the sun all afternoon and evening. Your excursions just made our holiday. The bikes were fun, but we'll hire a car next time to sightsee further afield. We've already recommended Berges du Canal to friends and given out your cards! Look forward to seeing you both again. Thank you, John and Jennifer Reynolds
