루비아 주변 최고의 사이클링 경로

The section posted for this Highlight is in the town of Sallèles-d'Aude so you have a lot of people walking in this section. Dog walkers with dogs not on leads, families taking the whole path etc., so whilst it is pretty in can be annoying when biking, This was in the last days of Oct. '25 so I think in summer it would be almost impassable at times. The other way towards the Gailhousty Lock and eventually Narbonne is much quieter if you want to ride unhindered by walkers & dogs, especially if you take the wide gravel track on the other side of the canal from the Vioe Verte.

A landmark on the way to Minerve. You'll face a bit of a climb.

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.

Here you have a beautiful view of the town of Roubia. A few barges are also visible on its banks. You have access to the small town by taking a stone bridge.

Beautiful place. For me one of the most beautiful villages in France.

Pretty canal, shaded, bucolic. Don't miss the Gailhousty site, at the downstream outlet of the Jonction canal on the Aude river. This canal, put into operation in 1787, connects the Canal du Midi and the Robine de Narbonne canal. The Gailhousty site consists of a lock, a spillway, a bridge and a dry dock. Upstream of the lock, the canal is protected from the floods of the Aude thanks to a system of dikes that surround it up to Sallèles-d'Aude. Downstream of the lock is a space designed to be able to be submerged during heavy floods: the spillway. The bridge is designed to provide rapid access to all points of the site, is of neat architecture, with a low arched vault and four quarter-circle staircases placed at each corner. During floods, it is necessary to be able to react quickly and to manoeuvre the defence systems in time. Placed on the downstream head of the lock, it participates in the system of containing the strongest floods. The monumental spillway, 30 metres long, is located on the left bank of the canal between the Gailhousty lock and the Aude. Its front façade on the canal side is pierced with vertical crenellations that plunge into the water. At the back, it has 5 arched openings at the foot of which launches an 8km long landing channel called "La saignée" directed towards the Capestang pond. This building houses no fewer than 15 oversized valves. It is not intended to evacuate excess water from the Jonction canal but must allow the passage of flood water from the Aude river. Originally, it was planned that these waters loaded with fertile silt would be directed into the Capestang pond to fill it and promote crops there.

It is one of the most emblematic places on the canal: its buildings, its chapel, its inn, its humpback bridge, its stores, bear witness to the activity of the time around the canal. Once the work on the canal was finished, an administration was set up to manage navigation on the canal. Seven divisions were created along the canal. The Somail division covered 45 km. A passenger transport service was also set up, the stop at the Somail inn corresponded to the third day of navigation from Toulouse. The building even had a dungeon...

Very pretty canal, less known than the Canal du Midi, shaded. Do not miss the Gailhousty site, at the downstream outlet of the Canal de Jonction on the Aude river. This canal, put into operation in 1787, allows to make the connection between the Canal du Midi and the Canal de la Robine de Narbonne. The Gailhousty site consists of a lock, a spillway, a bridge and a dry dock. Upstream of the lock, the canal is protected from the floods of the Aude thanks to a system of dikes which surround it up to Sallèles-d'Aude.

A very beautiful, small chateau with a few apartments and an ideal starting point to explore the south of France on foot or by bike.

A very nice little place with lots of tourists, boats and cyclists. A typical stopover for many.
