The Montady pond is a former pond, drained during the Middle Ages, located in the western part of the French department of Hérault, between Béziers and Narbonne. Thanks to drainage canals, the water is channeled towards a central collector, which explains the star-shaped layout of the fields and vineyards. This canal system dates back to the 13th century. Sixty drainage ditches converge at the circular ditch, called the Redondel, in the center of the former pond. The water is then carried away by a counter-sloping ditch towards the Capestang pond and through a tunnel under the Ensérune hill and the Malpas tunnel. The tunnel is located at a depth of 29.5 meters below the Malpas pass and 16 meters below the Canal du Midi tunnel. The pond is visible from the Montady tower, a remnant of the former 12th-century castle, and from the top of the hill, the Ensérune oppidum. Heavy rainfall, like that at the end of October 2019, can cause it to reappear. (Wikipedia)

A really beautiful route!

Didn't take a break

Always nice.

Very nice walk along the canal

easy but hot this season

The pretty Pigasse bridge (name of the relay which served as a stopover for travelers who used the Canal at the time when navigation was not motorized (towpath))

The Argeliers Bridge with its house, once occupied by Canal du Midi maintenance workers (now a tapas restaurant). You can leave the greenway to visit Argeliers, the historic site of the 1907 Wine Revolt.
