CANAL DU MIDI

The pointe des Onglous is both a point of departure and arrival: here the Etang de Thau meets the Canal du Midi, a UNESCO World Heritage site. This unique engineering feat was conceived by the famous Pierre-Paul Riquet during the reign of Louis XIV. 250 kilometers long, it links the Atlantic to the Mediterranean, but before emptying into the sea via the Canal Royal through Sète, it empties into the lagoon at the Pointe des Onglous in Marseillan. Discover it by boat, on foot or by bike.
