The Béarnais lock is the first of the 63 locks of the Canal du Midi. It is a simple rising lock. It therefore allows the river to gain altitude in relation to the Port de l'Embouchure.

"Treasures of the World – Heritage of Humanity" (a German-language television series) honors special sites from all eras and continents in over 250 episodes with short film clips. Despite their diversity, they have one thing in common: they have been declared UNESCO World Heritage Sites. One of the episodes presents the Canal du Midi. This is a connection – desired for centuries, but also considered technically impossible – between the southern coast of France on the Mediterranean and the vastness of the Atlantic Ocean.

The aforementioned episode is available in the ARD Media Library at the following link =>> ardmediathek.de/video/schaetze-der-welt/gcanal-du-midi-frankreich-folge-224/swr/Y3JpZDovL3N3ci5kZS82OTg2NDg2
