Brdski biciklizam
Here is just a small section between Agde and Portiragnes Plage
One of the oldest canals still in use in Europe, the Canal du Midi is a remarkable example of engineering skill and visionary urban planning.
This ambitious project was implemented in the south of France in the 17th century under the direction of Pierre-Paul Riquet and is now recognized as one of the largest construction projects of the early modern period.

Brdski biciklizam
The idea of connecting the Atlantic and the Mediterranean had existed since ancient times, but technical and financial hurdles prevented its implementation for a long time.
The breakthrough only came in 1662, when Pierre-Paul Riquet, a wealthy tax official, presented the project to King Louis XIV and underlined its feasibility.
Riquet was obsessed with the idea of creating a navigable waterway that could efficiently connect the cultivated areas in the south of France with the trading markets.
Financing the canal was a challenge that was ultimately overcome with government support and significant private funds from Riquet himself.

Brdski biciklizam
Construction began in 1667 and presented enormous technical challenges for the engineers and workers involved.
One of the biggest difficulties was supplying water to the canal on the watershed, for which Riquet developed a complex system of aqueducts and reservoirs, including the innovative dam at Lac de Saint-Ferréol, considered one of the greatest engineering feats of the time.
This reservoir collected rainwater from the Montagne Noire and channeled it into the canal, allowing year-round navigation.
