Vivier Lock

Highlight • Monument

The Vivier lock is actually a series of three locks, otherwise known as a ladder of locks. It was built in 1674, 68.7 kilometers from Toulouse and 154 meters above sea level. Another lock to add to the collection of Canal du Midi structures!

The Grand Bassin in Castelnaudary is the largest open body of water along the Canal du Midi and covers approximately 7 hectares. Once a site of important economic activity, it now serves as a tourist port. It also serves as a water reserve for the 4 Saint-Roche locks at the exit of the basin. (Wikipedia)

Fresquel Lock

Highlight • Monument

The Fresquel lock is in reality a series of locks: a first double structure followed by a single one. There are therefore three pools, each with a separate guard house. The locks were formerly lined with plane trees. Today, cyclists with allergies can cycle with complete peace of mind!

Nice and navigable stretch of canal, much easier than around Béziers. Very picturesque.
