The Canal du Midi, formerly the Royal Canal, is a 17th-century technical feat designed by Pierre-Paul Riquet to connect the Atlantic to the Mediterranean. Today, it is above all a place for relaxation and discovery, where heritage, nature, and conviviality blend together.

The Donneville bridge appears on the 1808 Napoleonic cadastre map. It is part of the bridges built during Riquet's time. However, it was destroyed on April 12, 1814 by Marshal Soult during the battle of Toulouse. Indeed, driven out of Spain, the French soldiers retreated to Toulouse to resist better, but the hostility of the predominantly royalist population forced them to fall back to Castelnaudary. Marshal Soult, anxious to keep his army intact while retreating south of the Canal du Midi, protected his retreat and blew up the bridges, including the one at Donneville. In 1821, the bridge was rebuilt identically.

As you can imagine, the lock owes its name to a wild boar. The story goes that in 1669, masons working on the construction site of the Canal du Midi slaughtered a huge wild boar trapped in the lock chamber of the lock under construction. Pierre-Paul Riquet passed by the construction site that same day, bought the wild boar and had it transported to Pézenas. He also took the opportunity to offer a banquet to some of his friends who were sitting in the States of Languedoc gathered in that city.

On one bank, the cycle path, on the other, the path. We swallow the kilometers with pleasure and from time to time we cross some pretty barges.
