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!

Grand Bassin in Castelnaudary

Highlight • Other

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)
