Canal du Midi to Émeraude

Highlight • River

The single lock of Portiragnes opens onto the Agde reach downstream.

It is a typical area of the landscapes of the Languedoc coastal strip.

Indeed, from this lock, the surface of the canal is at an altitude of only 1 meter above sea level. It runs alongside wetlands of former salt ponds (la grande Maïre), where we find rich fauna and flora (bulls, horses, waders, amphibians, reeds...) and some pine groves.

These places are conducive to the establishment of numerous campsites.

Libron Works on the Canal du Midi

Highlight • Structure

The Libron works are an ingenious system of locks dating from 1855 which allow the Canal du Midi to cross the Libron without suffering the problems related to the periodic floods of the river.

Canal du Midi

Highlight • River

You can cycle almost endlessly along the Canal Du Midi, partly on gravel roads and dirt, which is not recommended after rain, and often on asphalt.

Saint Stephen's Fortified Church, Agde

Highlight • Religious Site

A church made of red granite, which is surprising in the Camargue. Its fortified architecture reminds me of certain churches in Guipuzcoa in the Basque Country.

Historic Center of Agde

Highlight • Historical Site

Cap d'Agde is a seaside resort in the French town of Agde in Occitania which has no less than 160 naturist villages! This makes this town a magnet for many nudists from all over Europe. The city center of Agde in comparison is much quieter and has a totally different charm from the nearby seaside resorts.

Port of Cap d'Agde

Highlight • Other

Cap d'Agde is the second largest marina in France. Between the boats, the restaurants, and the beach, the port is full of activity, and it is worth taking a little break on a terrace.

Outside the port you can see the fort and the lighthouse of Brescou.
