It is classified as World Heritage by the UNESCO, the Canal du Midi was the first canal joining the Atlantic Ocean to the Mediterranean Sea. 240kms of canals meander through Sète and Toulouse, that’s why Paul Riquet spent 20 years to accomplish this project, considered now as a beautiful jewel of the French and occitan heritage.
