With its tree-lined squares, fountains, and narrow streets, Capestang is a lively village with a typical Mediterranean atmosphere. The village is located just twenty kilometers from the sea. Who would suspect, passing through, that its fate was long linked to the harvesting of sea salt? Indeed, the pond that gave it its name, "Lou Cap de l'estang" (meaning "the head of the pond"), brought wealth to the town around the 14th century. Largely dried up today, it is reborn with the rains and floods, creating a protected wetland landscape classified as a Natura 2000 site, where various species of birds and flamingos come to nest. Thanks to its salt marshes, its fertile land, and its geographical location at the crossroads of trade routes, Capestang experienced its golden age in the Middle Ages. From this rich historical past remain unique monuments that make Capestang such a singular city, where life is good.

Excellent guest house which offers dinner (vegetarian!). Very friendly hosts and spacious rooms with (in our case) an amazing bathtub, which was perfect after a rainy bike ride. Also, they have locked, covered garage to secure bikes. just off the Canal in Capestang and near main plaza and Church.

It's a place where you can take a break. However, the establishment is currently closed.

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. 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 maneuver the defense 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 meters long, is located on the left bank of the canal between the Gailhousty lock and the Aude. Its front facade on the canal side is pierced with vertical crenellations that plunge into the water. At the rear, 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 less 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 this water loaded with fertile silt would be directed into the Capestang pond to fill it and promote crops there.

Great route down to sete, easy riding

A really friendly welcome waits. We arrived here not knowing when or where our day would finish. We came into this town on a Sunday, and the place was a buss and the hotel had vacancies at a reasonable price. Very welcoming owners.

I recommend this little port of Somail with an old bookstore which is worth the detour.....

La Maison De L'écurie Great canal-side restaurant at the junction of the Canal Robine & Canal du Midi. A bit rustic but plenty of seating. It was very popular when we were there and a lot of people with bikes. There is a full menu, we only had the starters which was enough to refuel back to the Château Capitoul (salad with pulled pork and mi-cuit tuna with Korean salad). No cheap, but good with friendly service. Definitely to be recommended if biking on the EV8 around Narbonne.

This pretty little village located on the banks of the Canal du Midi was built around the superb Saint-Etienne collegiate church. At the crossroads of several rivers, it is also the starting point of the GR 78, the Piedmont route.
