Book using code CUT25 for £50 off (Booking dates : 20th June – 31st October, Validity: 2025 & 2026 departures, All boats (except Horizon and Liberty), UK, IE & FR as destinations) Note: whilst Le Boat provided the trip, they did not pay me to make the video and they had absolutely no editorial say over the content. Everything I filmed and included was entirely of my own volition. In this final part of our Canal du Midi press trip, organised for us by Le Boat, we move from Roubia up to Trebes where we handed the boat back and went for a day trip to Carcassonne, to look around the historic medieval city.
