August 24, 2026, Canal du midi

The Canal du Midi, formerly Canal Royal, is a 17th-century technical feat designed by Pierre-Paul Riquet to connect the Atlantic to the Mediterranean. Today, it is above all a place for relaxation and discovery, where heritage, nature, and conviviality blend together.

It is sometimes called the Naurouze lock because it is the closest lock to the Naurouze threshold. The Ocean lock marks the beginning of the ascending section of the canal when going from west to east.

Le Seuil de Naurouze is a strategic location in the operation and water supply of the Canal du Midi. The highest point on the canal's route, it is the birthplace as a watershed. Framed by the Ocean lock and the Mediterranean lock, it is from this site that the waters carried by the Rigole de la Plaine are distributed from one slope to the other.

The German-language television series "Treasures of the World - Heritage of Humanity" uses short film contributions to honor special sites from all eras and continents that have one thing in common: they have been declared World Heritage Sites by UNESCO. One of the episodes introduces the CANAL DU MIDI: "...the Romans already dreamed of a waterway between the Mediterranean and the Atlantic. Powerful people and doers from Charlemagne to Francis the First failed to realize this idea, even Leonardo da Vinci tinkered with it in vain. It was not built until the end of the 17th century. The Canal du Midi is a technical masterpiece by an individual, someone obsessed with the idea, by Pierre Paul Riquet. ..." => https://www.ardmediathek.de/video/schaetze-der-welt/gcanal-du-midi-frankreich-folge-224/swr/Y3JpZDovL3N3ci5kZS82OTg2NDg2
