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.

Unfortunately, it's not signposted and I only discovered it by chance. The former site of the Église Saint-Genest has been transformed into a wonderful vantage point over the city and the surrounding countryside. But there are two parking spaces for wheelchair access, and pedestrian and bicycle access also starts at a parking lot.

Wonderful collection of eccentric art and sculptures, especially the moving ones

A stunning sight in the middle of the forest, worth detouring for. A pre bronze age burial site, the 3rd largest dolmen in southern France, it is worth sitting and absorbing the ambience. More information https://fr.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/All%C3%A9e_couverte_de_Saint-Eug%C3%A8ne

Very well preserved, encourages calm and reflection under beautiful trees

"A 240.129 km long, 2.25 to 2.50 m deep waterway was declared a cultural monument as a "bridge" between the Mediterranean and the Atlantic with 328 structures such as bridges - such as the canal bridge over the Orb -, locks - such as the 7 lock cascades of Fonserrannes -, tunnels, aqueducts and 49 canals over streams and rivers." says the documentary from "Treasures of the World - Heritage of Humanity", a television series that brings culture-loving viewers closer to world cultural heritage sites with short film contributions (in German).
