    The breakthrough of Malpas (1679-1680), at the foot of the Fort of Ensérune near Colombiers, bears his name rightly - Malpas means "difficult passage". The "river tunnel" drilled through the rock is 173 meters long, 8.5 meters wide and 6 meters high; a towpath runs along its left bank. Today, there are three superimposed tunnels at three levels: the upper one is that of the Canal du Midi, the middle one is a railway tunnel, and the lower level is where the Etang de Montady waters run ... a technically highly entrenched link.

      Very nice to cycle. Once through the tunnel and if then a boat comes over - great.

        The tunnel is worth seeing, especially when boats pass through here.
