Canal du midi - Grande Luxe Cruise Ship Capestang Port Guerry and a Wineyard in France 4k by drone

In this film I show you the region east of Capestang, north of Narbonne and west of Béziers. In Port Guerry, where the winery Les Domaines des Marins is today, I was let taste wine for the first time in my then youthful life, a special experience. During the filming, a very special boat came in front of our lens. A large barque that had been converted into a 5* grande luxe cruise ship. The ship belongs to the Belmond luxury Fleet and commutes between Béziers and Carcassonne. It sleeps 4 people and the weekly charter price starts at 5'000€ per person. The whole series of films about the Canal du midi should finally also serve as a memory film for my parents and not just for Youtube. The Canal du midi - with a length of 240km it connects Toulouse with the Mediterranean Sea at Sète and was completed in 1681. It brought progress and the way to modernity to the region and was important for the transport of people and goods until the end of the 20th century. At peak times, 110 million ton kilometers of goods were transported. Today, the canal is practically used only for tourism, as the whole region is known for its cozy and relaxing vacations on various types of houseboats. However, bathing in the canal is prohibited due to its high microbial load. But due to its brownish-gray color, the canal does not look very inviting anyway. Until a few years ago, the waste water from the houseboats was also discharged directly into the canal. A technical masterpiece built by the master builder Pierre-Paul Riquet with many obstacles and problems after the French King Louis XIV released the project in 1666. With its 98 lock basins the canal overcomes Together with the Canal de Garonne, it provides a navigable connection from the Mediterranean to the Atlantic, avoiding the arduous journey around the Iberian Peninsula. Already the Romans thought about a canal construction, in the Middle Ages even Leonardo da Vinci was involved in the planning work, but one failed at the supply of the canal with water.
