Visit to discover the old Verdon canal, built under Napoleon III.
The old Verdon canal, built under Napoleon III by convicts (from 1866 to 1875), ran along the Verdon river and supplied Aix-en-Provence with water at the time. A technical feat of 82 km, recognized at the Universal Exhibition of 1878, it was progressively abandoned in the 1970s in favor of the Canal de Provence. The departure of the hike is on the left bank of the Verdon, downstream from the lake of Quinson. This idyllic and very wooded path will lead you to the hut of the canal guard, formerly in charge of its maintenance. A nice family walk not to be missed!
