    Above the Tunnel Malpas of the Canal du Midi, there is a viewpoint over the Étang de Montady in a small parking lot.

    This is a Mediterranean lagoon that was drained in the Middle Ages by a radial drainage system. It lies between the municipalities of Montady and Colombiers, around 10 km west of Béziers. Because of its appearance, it is also called "Gateau du Roi" (King's Cake). (Wikipedia)

    This shape is very easy to see from the viewpoint and the short detour from the Canal du Midi is well worth it.

        Tunnel de Malpas, very narrow path through the tunnel, I had to carry my bike. Fortunately noone was coming the other way. This is a multi-level construction. The road passes over the canal tunnel, which passes over the rail tunnel, which passes over the drainage tunnel from the Etang de Montady. A train passed under my feet when I was in the canal tunnel, weird!
