The port of Somail was the place where the post boat stopped when it came from Toulouse. This hamlet has inspired many painters such as William Moulin or Jean-Noël Le Junter, thanks to its bridge, its chapel and its picturesque setting on the banks of the Canal du Midi.

It is one of the most emblematic places on the canal: its buildings, its chapel, its inn, its humpback bridge, its stores, bear witness to the activity of the time around the canal.
Once the work on the canal was finished, an administration was set up to manage navigation on the canal. Seven divisions were created along the canal. The Somail division covered 45 km.
A passenger transport service was also set up, the stop at the Somail inn corresponded to the third day of navigation from Toulouse.
The building even had a dungeon...

The French are finally upgrading sections of the Canal du Midi.
From La Redorte to Le Somail there are now sections of concreted paths. The current (Oct 2022) Open Cycle Map will need updating as surfaces are renewed and the Voie Verte changes sides of the canal. This gives fewer road sections.
