The seven locks are such a monument that the city was officially named after them in 1978. Why all the effort to lower the canal to such a level? The answer is Henry IV's monumental project to link the English Channel to the Mediterranean Sea. This lock is part of the Briare canal which connects the Loire and the Seine.
