Homps, Canal du Midi
Base manager Donald Macphail welcomes you to Homps. The Canal du Midi makes cruising
a perfect holiday at any time of year - the warmth of the Mediterranean sunshine
and the dappled shade of the thousands of plane, cypress and pine trees that border
its paths will entice you to its waters whatever the season.
Homps has some of the most popular restaurants on the Canal du Midi, and be sure
to visit En Bonne Compagnie on the quay where Valerie and Craig serve up superb
cuisine.
