A commemorative plaque located on the Pont Neuf in Castelnaudary recalls the journey of Thomas Jefferson, then US ambassador to France, who sailed down the Canal du Midi (then Canal Royal) in May 1787 to admire its works of art, particularly the quadruple lock of Castelnaudary.
The Pont Neuf of Castelnaudary is a remarkable stone structure that spans the Canal du Midi. Built between 1787 and 1788 by the States of Languedoc, it is located at the entrance to the town's port, also called the Petit Bassin.
