Hi Cathy,
Have posted these links on other threads, but here goes again... :)
I've had luck booking through Tripsite: https://www.tripsite.com/ They'll state which company runs which trips on their site. Granted, you could also book directly with the company operating the trip, but in my case I used Tripsite because they're Pennsylvania-based, and I wanted to pay by credit card rather than do a wire transfer.

I haven't taken their France trip but have traveled with Yubike in Holland (the trip above booked thru Tripsite). Enjoyed the trip, and they are well-organized. www.yubike.org As a side note, I have a friend who's gone with VBT, and she likes their tours.

The Canal du Midi in southwest France is gorgeous! Small villages, vineyards, waterways lined with plane trees.
I would suggest getting a copy of FRANCE Magazine. They sell it at Barnes and Noble...there are many barge/bike companies listed in the back to start your search.
