A wonderful place, a magnificent setting accessible by challenging trails that make mountain biking a pleasure. It's tough but enjoyable!

We pass along the Canal du MIDI to arrive at the small port so characteristic of SOMAIL. A picture-postcard landscape when the blue sky and the sun accompany you.

From the Canal du Midi, the vision of the Château d’Argens emerges. This residence belonged to the lords of Sérame. Formerly known under the Roman name of Villa Arsegii, the imposing manor takes its name from the Latin argilla. Neighboring the castle is a geological site composed of sandstone and clay renowned for their quality which gives its name to the place. Dominating the eponymous medieval village, this residence is rich in a history of more than 900 years.

Pretty village along the Canal du Midi. Don't miss the old post box...

We fortified ourselves again at Café NOK9.

As you cycle along the Canal du Midi near Ventenac-en-Minervois, you’ll discover history, nature and vineyard landscapes. The towpath is relatively flat, making it ideal for a leisurely stroll or a warm-up before taking on the more rugged trails of the region. You’ll pass through peaceful countryside, shaded by the iconic plane trees that line the canal. Be sure to stop at the Château de Ventenac, visible from the trail, where you can learn about the region’s rich winemaking tradition.

Anyone who is active here always has something to see. In addition to the landscape and nature, the canal with its bridges and retaining walls as well as the houseboats always offers interesting motifs.

In fact it is not an aqueduct but a canal bridge. An aqueduct is used to transport water for irrigation or consumption; it is a work of art for a river communication route.
