Ideal for a break, and the starting point for a section of road along the canal (not very rolling at this level), or the path that runs along the Rigole.

It is the place of the "water division" in which the waters that feed the Canal du Midi, coming from the overlying Bassin de Saint Ferreol, divide to feed the two branches of the Canal which is at its highest point here. To the right the water begins to descend towards the "Ecluse de l'Ocean" towards Toulouse, the Garonne and the Atlantic Ocean, and to the left towards the "Ecluse de la Mediterranee" which, through the French south (Midi, in fact) reaches through Carcassonne and Beziers the Mediterranean Sea.
