    This navigation canal connects the Etang de Thau, near Sète, to the Rhône at Beaucaire. Designed to facilitate commercial exchanges between the Rhône valley and the southwest of France, its construction began in 1773. However, it was not until 1828 that the canal linked Sète to Beaucaire and also the Canal du Midi . This allowed maritime trade to travel to the west coast without passing through the Iberian Peninsula.
