Beautiful unit on the shores of canal du midi. Good bedding, great kitchen, great location for multiple area visits. Quiet as can be. Wonderful walks on the side ofcthe canal. Just missed having English channels available but for sure Sam and James will correct. We were their first guests
This is a magnificent place to stay, right next to the canal du midi with beautiful walks out the front door. The hosts are wonderful, really friendly and helpful. The gite was well equipped and served us so well for a month stay. Highly recommended.
We had an excellent stay at Canal View. The house is very nice and clean, counts with all the amenities, fully equipped and decorated with care. Wi Fi worked perfectly. Adrian and Ann-Marie are very friendly hosts. Highly recommeded.
Comfortable, well presented property with kind hosts
A comfortable, well presented property with lovely views of the Canal du Midi. It is ideally located for visits to Carcassonne, Cabrespine cave, lovely old French villages and wine tasting.
Unfortunately, there was a strong wind during our stay so barbeques were not possible, however, the kitchen was well equipped to cook inside.
Ann-Marie and Adrian were knowledgeable and kind hosts.
We warmly recommend this property.

Lovely house. Great location. Convivial hosts. Thank you!
What a beautiful property and so nicely located right on a lock of the Canal du Midi. The property is clean, very comfortable and the hosts are extremely welcoming, but entirely discreet. Cannot recommend staying here highly enough.
Nice hosts, with good local knowledge. Comfortable and clean with good facilities.
Good location for exploring or just relaxing by the canal or on the terrace with a BBQ.

Very tastefully decorated gite with everything you need for a great holiday, lovely hosts who were unobtrusive but always available if needed. Would not hesitate to return or recommend.
The rental process was very easy both with Verbo and the owners, the gite was just what we wanted, the facilities were good and the owners were very friendly and helpful, we highly recommend this property

Lovely cottage in a quiet location
We had a long weekend here. It's close to Carcassonne and the airport but in a peaceful location next to the canal. Plenty to see and do in the area or just rest at the cottage, which is very well equipped. Couldn't fault it.
Our hosts offered us a comfortable and relaxing spot from which to explore the region. Each day we experienced an adventure and then returned for a swim and an evening meal on the patio. Adrian and Anne Marie were very helpful with suggestions to explore. Thank you 😊
Our 2nd visit to Canal View - 8 Years apart! It has everything you need for a relaxing break. Adrian and Anne-Marie are brilliant hosts and a great source of useful local knowledge. Unreservedly recommended.

The Perfect Place
Canal View was the first stop on our drive around the south of France and it was excellent. Great facilities, clean and comfortable. Location is ideal for visiting Carcassonne and the many attractive villages in the area. Before our arrival and during our stay Ann-Marie & Adrian provided excellent information and advice.
House lovely with well equipped kitchen in great location to many pretty villages and beaches. Fabulous pool.
A very enjoyable week.

Great spot
We loved the location of this holiday home right on the canal du midi with a lock right outside the gate. A beautiful house with everything we needed, great back yard, swimming pool and easy driving distance to Carcassone. Highly recommended.

Great accommodation in great location
We had a wonderful stay in Marseillette with our young kids. The accommodation is extremely comfortable and the setting is superb with canal boats chugging along past the house throughout the day. The kids loved the pool, trampoline and swings and their daily walk to the local boulangerie for breakfast. Easy to get to Carcassonne and the coast from the gite so we were able to do something different each day. A fantastic week.
We love this house, it’s location, right on the Canal du Midi, and the region in general.
The house is well-equipped and comfortable. A large front terrace looks over the canal and a huge rear garden has a lovely pool (shared with the other gite on this site).
We have been here three times now and hope to return next year.

Great location with added peace and tranquillity
Spent a relaxing short break in Canal View. Each day started with a short walk along the canal to the local boulangerie, followed by a coffee opposite. Ann-Marie and Adrian made us feel very welcome. The house was just perfect with easy links to Carcassonne and pretty Aude villages. Plenty of room for 4 persons and a complimentary bottle of wine.

Everything we hoped it would be!
We had a great time staying at this lovely Gite by the canal, enjoying the May sunshine, swimming in the lovely pool and watching the canal boats go by in the early evening whilst tending our barbeque and sampling the local wines. The Gite was a great base for exploring the local area and the whole week was a very special family time for my wife and I and our 4 year old son. Put simply, our holiday was everything we hoped it would be and we would recommend it to anyone.
