ENC Chart for Canal du Midi (France)

I am looking for a ENC Vector chart set for the Canal du Midi in France. I have all of the Vector charts from VNF (Canal du Rhone, etc), but they don't include the Canal du Midi.


I am willing to pay for them, if required.

Re: ENC Chart for Canal du Midi (France)

Please don’t be offended but why do you need an ENC chart for the canal du Midi, once you’re in, its very linear.... right bank, left bank, shallow part of the way and a lot of hard work with the 63 locks and the infestation of charter boats. I applaud the use of ENC’s along the Rhône, etang du thau and the exit at the Atlantic but I managed ok with just the fluviale charts. Are you planning on trying a deep draft transit and need precise depth data.... it gets very shallow in summer, I draw 1.1 m and have touched bottom briefly but only because I had to hug the bank to avoid those pesky charter boats.

I don't need an ENC per se then. I just want something to put into OpenCPN.

I hesitate to admit this but I used my TomTom maps display on the boat, quite useful on the canal between the Petit Rhône and Sète but was also handy on the canal du Midi.
I hope you can find the ENC.
