Nice place with fountain

Beautiful view of the old salt marshes of Peyrac-de-mer

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.

Superb site on the banks of the Canal du Midi

The Doul pond is a magnificent 37-hectare body of water of tectonic origin. It is the saltiest of the French Mediterranean ponds, which is why an old saltworks is attached to it.

An improbable little road, the reward of a good restaurant a little further on

Small village in Corbieres to follow with Coustouges and Fontjoncouse.
