THE CANAL DU MIDI
BEZIERS , Hérault – Natural heritage
About
The classification as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1996 has given a soul to one of the oldest canals still in operation, now entirely dedicated to tourism. Built by Pierre-Paul Riquet from Béziers under the reign of Louis XIV, from 1667 to 1681, it stretches over 240 km, has 69 locks and 350 structures spanning it, making it easy to navigate. It is extended to the Atlantic by the Canal Latéral à la Garonne over 193 km The Canal du Midi is in itself a remarkable landscape. But it also crosses other landscapes, which tell the story of the south, of Occitania and what makes its identity. From the Montagne Noire to the Etang de Thau, from the 9 locks of Fonseranes to the Languedoc vineyards, it transports people and captures their hearts… at an average speed of 8 km/h.
