Yes, Athos fits through this bridge.

Athos measures 30m long and 5,5m wide, draws 1m30 and weighs 180 tonnes - the maximum dimensions of a Canal du Midi lock.

The low 16th C bridges of the Canal du MIDI are what make it special. Only barges like Athos, specifically designed to fit under them, can cruise uninterrupted (with the wheelhouse up), if very carefully, through them.

Navigating the huge and traditionally-built barge into glove-tight spaces has provided wonder for many an Athos passenger.

Ever wondered what the inside of a barge might look like? Wonder no more…
Here’s a little walk through thanks to wonder hostie

Athos measures 30m x 5m. Initially built in 1964 as a sand, wine, and fuel barge…the inside volumes were intended for freight. These days, indoor Athos offers a cosy, sunny Midi vibe ☀️with enough space and facilities for a group of 10 passengers.

The salon space, bar, and upper deck are pictured here…

A forward and a backward rope…

Handling a 150 tonne 30 meter barge in a lock requires a pretty specific skill-set.

Hats off to barge pilots who make it look easy !
