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.

The German-language television series "Treasures of the World - Heritage of Humanity" uses short film clips 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 one person, one obsessed with the idea, by Pierre Paul Riquet. ..."

"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).

I am not a sports cyclist I cycle for fun short distances up to 30 km home and away. and because it is necessary for shopping and something to see in a city so that the camper can stay at the camper place or camping. but this was a nice trip with a terrace a chat and back to Carcason. there is only one disadvantage you cycle the same way back when you drive there. So on the way there you look left on the way back right or the other way around then it is solved.

This structure, born from the recommendations made by Vauban to improve the Canal du Midi, was built in 1693. It is one of the most original structures on the Canal du Midi with its eleven-arched bridge. The function of this structure is to evacuate excess water from the canal to the Argent-Double River. This evacuation is done in two ways. The first is by evacuating surface water by means of a spillway (overflow system) at the point where the bank is lowest at the level of the arches of the structure. The water that spills then falls in a cascade to the Argent-Double River below. After the surface water has been evacuated, the second means of evacuation of the structure is the spillway itself, that is to say, a bottom valve, which allows, with the action of man, to evacuate the water through the bottom. During maintenance work carried out in winter, this reach (portion between two locks) is emptied by this means. A passage on the arches is built in order to maintain a "dry" continuity for the towing horses and avoid the slippery and perilous passage that this spillway presented. (Text from: La Redorte and works of the Argent-Double)

I'm following up on Paul's comment: Yes, the canal is a great immersion in history and the region However, don't hesitate to make a few forays outside the canal... we made a detour via Revel going up the channel, then climbed a little on the mountain, and it was also very nice. In summer, the canal is very busy...

On the other side of the canal from the stele, there is a nice rest area. One of those on the long route from Castelnaudry to Carcassonne.
