The Écluse de l'Océan is an architecturally beautifully built single-chamber lock. It marks the highest point of the Canal du Midi (Col de Naurouze or Seuil de Lauragais: the watershed between the Atlantic and the Mediterranean).

April 27, 2024,Ô Gravel Family ride Seuil de Naurouze

Two walks were planned this morning departing from the Seuil de Naurouze, the watershed of the Canal du Midi fed by the Rigole de la plaine which brings water from the Montagne Noire.
The wind and the weather forecast forced us to cancel the afternoon walk, returning to Toulouse not via the Canal du Midi.
