Homps Base

Donald MacPhail

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.
