La Cesse Aqueduct

Highlight • Bridge

Here is another canal bridge, that of La Cesse, at the intersection of the Canal du Midi. The two rivers cross without knowing each other, but the bridge offers magnificent views of the surroundings. This bridge was built by Jean Goudet, an engineer who solved the problem of the floods of La Cesse. This structure is 64 meters long and 14 meters high.

The castle of Ventenac-en-Minervois is not only an imposing architectural work but also an excellent wine estate and a historic cellar. You can taste the wines of the region and the AOC Minervois which are characterized by their structure as well as by their fruity and spicy side.

As you cycle along the Canal du Midi near Ventenac-en-Minervois, you’ll discover history, nature and vineyard landscapes. The towpath is relatively flat, making it ideal for a leisurely stroll or a warm-up before taking on the more rugged trails of the region. You’ll pass through peaceful countryside, shaded by the iconic plane trees that line the canal. Be sure to stop at the Château de Ventenac, visible from the trail, where you can learn about the region’s rich winemaking tradition.

Highlight • Restaurant

La Maison De L'écurie
Great canal-side restaurant at the junction of the Canal Robine & Canal du Midi. A bit rustic but plenty of seating. It was very popular when we were there and a lot of people with bikes.
There is a full menu, we only had the starters which was enough to refuel back to the Château Capitoul (salad with pulled pork and mi-cuit tuna with Korean salad).
No cheap, but good with friendly service.
Definitely to be recommended if biking on the EV8 around Narbonne.

Canal at Sallèles

Highlight • Other

The junction canal is a French waterway that connects the Canal du Midi to the Canal de la Robine via the Aude. It is the link between the Canal du Midi and Narbonne then Port-la-Nouvelle. A very nice setting to take a break

This is the fastest way, perhaps the only one in the area, to cross the AUDE. From the MOUSSOULENS Lock (Robine Canal) to the GAILHOUSTY Lock (Junction Canal).
