"A 240.129 km long, 2.25 to 2.50 m deep waterway, a 'bridge link' between the Mediterranean and the Atlantic, with 328 structures such as bridges - like the canal bridge over the Orb -, locks - like the 7 lock cascades of Fonserrannes -, tunnels, aqueducts, and 49 canal routes over streams and rivers, has been declared a cultural monument," according to the documentary from "Treasures of the World - Heritage of Humanity," a television series that introduces culturally interested viewers (in German) to World Heritage sites through short film clips.

"Treasures of the World – Heritage of Humanity" (a German-language television series) honors special sites from all eras and continents in over 250 episodes with short film clips. Despite their diversity, they have one thing in common: they have been declared UNESCO World Heritage Sites. One of the episodes presents the Canal du Midi.

The German-language television series "Treasures of the World - Heritage of Humanity" uses short film contributions to honor special sites from all eras and continents that have one thing in common: they have been declared World Heritage Sites by UNESCO. One of the episodes introduces the CANAL DU MIDI: "...the Romans already dreamed of a waterway between the Mediterranean and the Atlantic. Powerful people and doers from Charlemagne to Francis the First failed to realize this idea, even Leonardo da Vinci tinkered with it in vain. It was not built until the end of the 17th century. The Canal du Midi is a technical masterpiece by an individual, someone obsessed with the idea, by Pierre Paul Riquet. ..." => https://www.ardmediathek.de/video/schaetze-der-welt/gcanal-du-midi-frankreich-folge-224/swr/Y3JpZDovL3N3ci5kZS82OTg2NDg2
