Running Highlight
Recommended by 19 out of 20 people
The Ouvrage de Lebron is a special lock that was used on the Canal du Midi to regulate the water channels of the Lebron. When it rained heavily, rafts were lowered to the roller carriers attached to rails to regulate the water flowing through.

Very nice trail to walk.
If you like to walk away from tar, this is the place for you 👍🏻.
I wish you a great run.

"A 240.129 km long, 2.25 to 2.50 m deep waterway was declared a cultural monument as a "bridge" between the Mediterranean and the Atlantic with 328 structures such as bridges - such as the canal bridge over the Orb -, locks - such as the 7 lock cascades of Fonserrannes -, tunnels, aqueducts and 49 canals over streams and rivers." says the documentary from "Treasures of the World - Heritage of Humanity", a television series that brings culture-loving viewers closer to world cultural heritage sites with short film contributions (in German). The episode about the CANAL DU MIDI is available in the ARD media library under this link:
