Port Cassafieres, Canal du Midi

Base manager Sebastien Taconetti welcomes you to Port Cassafieres, a delightful little pleasure port on the Canal du Midi within walking distance of the Mediterranean and its lovely beaches.

Its proximity to Spain gives it some interesting flourishes in cuisine, architecture and culture and results in it being a truly cosmopolitan spot to explore.
