Écluse de l'Océan

The Écluse de l'Océan is an architecturally beautifully built single-chamber lock. It marks the highest point of the Canal du Midi (Col de Naurouze or Seuil de Lauragais: the watershed between the Atlantic and the Mediterranean).

Mémorial Cathare

Highlight • Historical Site

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.

Seuil de Naurouze

Highlight • Historical Site

The Seuil de Naurouze is an emblematic and symbolic location on the Canal du Midi. It is here that the canal comes to life thanks to the watersheds originating from the Montagne Noire. As the highest point of the canal, the waters carried by the Rigole de la Plaine are distributed from one slope to the other.
