See Carcassonne from another perspective. The Canal du Midi offers kilometre on kilometre of traffic free; strolling, walking, jogging, cycling or simply relaxing footpath. You could even take a Canal trip or relax at numerous restaurants watching the boats passbye.

Designed in the 17th century by Pierre-Paul Riquet, the Canal du Midi, which has 64 locks interspersed along its length of nearly 240 kilometres, flows from Toulouse in Haute-Garonne to Thau Lake, near Sète, in the Hérault. This colossal construction made a link between the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea, and required the work of 12,000 men over fifteen years, from 1666 to 1681. Today it is listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site, and is an unmissable tourist destination, great for exploration as well as relaxation, whether by boat or travelling along the charming, shady banks: canal boat cruises through the locks, romantic strolls by the waterside, or bicycle rides along the towpath...we like to enjoy a drink on its bank in Homps!
