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 am not a sports cyclist I cycle for fun short distances up to 30 km home and away. and because it is necessary for shopping and something to see in a city so that the camper can stay at the camper place or camping. but this was a nice trip with a terrace a chat and back to Carcason. there is only one disadvantage you cycle the same way back when you drive there. So on the way there you look left on the way back right or the other way around then it is solved.

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...

Pedaling along the Canal du Midi near Marseillette will transport you back in time to the 17th century. This historic waterway, a masterpiece of engineering, winds through picturesque countryside, offering stunning views of vineyards, rolling hills and charming villages. You can explore the canal’s locks, admire ancient bridges and visit the historic cities of Carcassonne and Narbonne.

The Canal du Midi is a nice place, to do with the family it's peaceful. A bit monotonous in the long run but why not for a part too if you are solo and like variety!
