During the canal's construction, Pierre-Paul Riquet allowed streams to flow into the canal. Excess water was discharged through weirs. This system generated alluvial deposits that silted up the canal and disrupted navigation. By 1685, boats were having difficulty navigating in many places. In 1686, King Louis XIV entrusted Vauban with an inspection of the Canal du Midi (then called the Royal Canal of Languedoc). This aqueduct has three arches. At low water levels, the Orbiel River flows only under the western arch. During floods, it overflows its banks, and sometimes the three arches are no longer sufficient to maintain the flow. In the most severe floods, the structure can be completely submerged, as was the case in 2018.

I'm following up on Paul's comment: Yes, the canal is a great immersion in history and the region However, don't hesitate to make a few forays outside the canal... we made a detour via Revel going up the channel, then climbed a little on the mountain, and it was also very nice. In summer, the canal is very busy...

Located at the intersection of the Canal du Midi and the Orbiel, the Orbiel canal bridge allows the crossing of the two streams of water. A truly remarkable work of engineering!
