History
The current UK owners, Howard and Ann Davies, own one of the most successful hire fleets in the UK, Napton Narrowboats, and acquired the property in 2003.
Le Somail used to be the hire base on the Canal du Midi for Minervois Cruisers which was run from the adjacent property and canal wharf. Howard's daughter Emily looks after the property and lives next door with her family. She is fluent in French (and English of course), has extensive local knowledge, and will ensure visitors of a warm welcome.
