Things to see and do Canal du Midi

You have already crossed the Garonne from the New Bridge, which allows the passage between the districts of Esquirol and Saint-Cyprien, connecting the rue de la République to the rue de Metz. If construction began in the sixteenth century, the inauguration took place only in 1659, more than a century later. Today it is one of the most beautiful French bridges, admiring any time, from the wharves of Tounis and the Daurade. Although it has been somewhat restored over time, it is nevertheless very solid, having been built to withstand floods and the unleashed river, with its 7 irregular arches.

It is a major book of the Canal du Midi, with eight basins and nine doors allowing to cross a height of 21,50 metres over a length of more than 300 metres. True water staircase, technical prowess for the time, locks are a permanent attraction, still active despite the construction of an innovative book, the water slope, next but often broken.

Take a walk at the rate of water. At the beginning of Sallèles-from Aude, your journey begins with an information sign indicating the path to follow, not complicated. In the programme: a good end of the junction canal, marking a few locks; a small portion of the mid-term Midi Canal; and a return along the way. You have water in your mouth, do you? And if you are afraid to bore yourself, you will see for yourself that the landscapes cannot be bored: Each course is different, some of you book amazing surprises. Note, for example, the Cesse bridge…

Built at the beginning of the 15th century, the first town hall was called the "Maison Commune". Remains its black basaltic stone crest of Agde, surrounded by a carved heart where the letters "C.C" are engraved (Corps Consulaire) and above, the date: 1587.

The Hotel de Ville is a spacific former house. The Municipality settled there in 1919. It is in 1980 that it takes its current aspect with the complete renovation of the entrance hall, transformed into a reception and exhibition room which now houses a collection of ancient remains, treasures collected in the Etang de Thau.
