One Day By Canal Du Midi

From the day we moved to Toulouse, we suddenly rode hard. There is no place the whole family is near the Canal du Midi, a historic building - the most beautiful landscape in the south of France.One day by the Canal du MidiDock along the canal or board a boat down the river Water is a famous tourism product in this region. Canal du Midi is recognized as a world cultural heritage with three hundred and twenty-eight large and small bridges and culverts along with forty-five thousand trees on both sides of the green jade chain embracing the ancient cities Canal du Midi originated from Toulouse, which stretches 240km, crosses many cities and ends at the coastal town of Agde. Although in Toulouse every day we pass through the canal, it is not until a weekend to visit the ancient citadel of Carcassonne that we can partly admire the great beauty and poetic beauty of the project

. In the morning of early autumn, Canal du Midi looked so clear and serene, the tall trees on the canal had changed colors, so yellow and green patches alternated. Just a few months ago, behind the trees were fields of bright yellow sunflower. Close to the ground, colorful wildflowers bloom in abundance Tourists cycle along Canal du Midi From Carcassonne, people rode about a dozen kilometers to Trèbes.



This beautiful little town greets visitors with a charming bridge full of flowers. Tourists buy bicycle tours often rest, coffee breakfast here because Trèbes meets the romantic beauty of a rural town in the south of France. Trèbes is also a "port" where ships on the canal used to stop to rest.Canal du Midi began to be built in 1667 with the participation of 12,000 workers and engineers during the past twelve years. disintegration. The canal was trained to form a waterway through France connecting the Atlantic sea to the Mediterranean. Thanks to this work, the ships no longer had to go around Spanish waters Before digging a canal, the French had to build the largest dam in Europe at that time on the Laudot River to provide water for the public.



The peaceful corner in the castle that had been through many battles. After breakfast, we started to see the locks. Canal du Midi has a very steep slope. To change or prevent the slope of the flow, the designers of the canal had the initiative of building 103 ship locks in the past. Each lock is closed and opened by two large, heavy but easy-to-operate iron doors. The way to lower the altitude is that the train will get into this lock, open the water discharge door to go down. When going up, the ship will do the opposite: the ship enters the lock, close the discharge door, open the other door to allow the water from above to overflow and raise the ship. The ship is about to enter the lock to get higher Parallel to the maneuvers " There must be at least two people on the shore to tie the rope to the anchor posts on the two banks of the canal to keep the ship from slipping or being hit by the iron door.



This is an interesting and not easy activity. The boats passed through the canals in the early days were hand controlled, then pulled ashore by horses and then by steam engines. Water traffic on the Canal du Midi only began to decline as the rail became more popular. Commercial activity on the canal ended in 1980, giving way to tourism. of the most beautiful landscapes in France.

On the banks of the flowers, blooming grasslands, under the water, the ducklings and boats drifted. Canal du Midi has sections below the canal is a stream, very unique.



Looking far away, it was thought that there was a big bridge over a small stream, cycling closer to see that the bridge was clear water. On the spring, summer, and autumn canals, there are often very beautifully designed cruise ships. Usually, tourists rent a train for about seven days to go along the canal, meet a certain town, stop in to buy food, stop by the shore at night and sleep.Carcassonne, the old castle in the fortress Along the Canal du Midi there are many cities Very nice old town. Because we believe in the title of world heritage, we choose Carcassonne to explore.
