Gravel riding
This is a typical area of the landscapes of the Languedoc coastal strip.
Indeed, from this lock, the canal surface is at an altitude of only 1 meter above sea level. It runs along wetlands of former salt ponds (la grande Maïre), where one encounters rich fauna and flora (bulls, horses, waders, amphibians, reeds...) and some pine groves.
These places are conducive to the establishment of numerous campsites.

Gravel riding
Built on the right bank, on the towpath side, these spillways are for some surmounted by arcades allowing the dry passage of the horse teams that towed the boats until the beginning of the 20th century.
