    As you can imagine, the lock owes its name to a wild boar. The story goes that in 1669, masons working on the construction site of the Canal du Midi slaughtered a huge wild boar trapped in the lock chamber of the lock under construction.

    Pierre-Paul Riquet passed by the construction site that same day, bought the wild boar and had it transported to Pézenas. He also took the opportunity to offer a banquet to some of his friends who were sitting in the States of Languedoc gathered in that city.
