The German-language television series "Treasures of the World - Heritage of Humanity" uses short film contributions to honor special sites from all eras and continents that have one thing in common: they have been declared World Heritage Sites by UNESCO. One of the episodes introduces the CANAL DU MIDI: "...the Romans already dreamed of a waterway between the Mediterranean and the Atlantic. Powerful people and doers from Charlemagne to Francis the First failed to realize this idea, even Leonardo da Vinci tinkered with it in vain. It was not built until the end of the 17th century. The Canal du Midi is a technical masterpiece by an individual, someone obsessed with the idea, by Pierre Paul Riquet. ..." => https://www.ardmediathek.de/video/schaetze-der-welt/gcanal-du-midi-frankreich-folge-224/swr/Y3JpZDovL3N3ci5kZS82OTg2NDg2

History will record that this will be my very first ride with my very first VTTAE. This even if the weather is not very good. But delighted to have tested my new mount in real life and realized that it is truly all-terrain.. On the other hand, disappointment or poor use of the application on my part.. But I started this journey from from a point different from point A. And once I arrive at point A, the app tells me that I have arrived even though I had only completed half the route. The algorithm should perhaps be made smarter by offering to set a starting point from any location on a given route.

In 1211, the burning of the Cassés marked a tragic moment. During the crusade against the Albigensians, more than 60 Cathars were burned alive at Les Cassés. This massacre is commemorated by a memorial, erected on the site itself. Despite the sad history, the panorama is truly beautiful.
