The Port of Somail

Highlight • Settlement

The port of Somail was the place where the post boat stopped when it came from Toulouse. This hamlet has inspired many painters such as William Moulin or Jean-Noël Le Junter, thanks to its bridge, its chapel and its picturesque setting on the banks of the Canal du Midi.

Archbishops' Palace of Narbonne

Highlight • Historical Site

The Palace of the Archbishops of Narbonne is a magnificent Gothic building located in the historic center of the city. It was built in the 14th century to serve as the residence of the city's archbishops.

The palace is now a museum of art and history which houses collections of art and archaeological objects from the region. Visitors can also admire the restored historical halls of the palace, such as the Hall of Synods and the Gothic Chapel.

Argent-Double Spillway

Highlight • Bridge

The Argent-Double spillway regulates the water level in the canal. It is a real work of art that deserves a stop to take a good look at its architecture and its environment!

Canal du Midi Aqueduct

I'm following up on Paul's comment:
Yes, the canal is a great immersion in history and the region
However, don't hesitate to make a few forays outside the canal... we made a detour via Revel going up the channel, then climbed a little on the mountain, and it was also very nice.
In summer, the canal is very busy...

Fresquel Lock

Highlight • Monument

The Fresquel lock is in reality a series of locks: a first double structure followed by a single one. There are therefore three pools, each with a separate guard house. The locks were formerly lined with plane trees. Today, cyclists with allergies can cycle with complete peace of mind!

Nice and navigable stretch of canal, much easier than around Béziers. Very picturesque.
