러스티크스 최고의 워킹 & 하이킹 경로

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.

The pizzeria is nice, open from 12 o'clock

Beautiful recreational area with swimming opportunities

A manageable, slightly hilly walk around the reservoir, with asphalted paths and trails in large parts. This one has a variety of tourist attractions, and is pleasantly quiet outside of the season, but is affected by the constant noise of the motorway.

These limestone mushrooms from the beginning of the Tertiary era constitute real geological curiosities. There are four Giant Clams in the Alaric Forest, all located in the same place.

Nice place to visit and some great restaurants

Lake Cavayère is the ideal site for getting into the water when you are near Carcassonne. It is also the ideal place for a walk on the banks.

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!
