The Canal du Midi, recently designated a 'World
Heritage' site, is the oldest canal in Europe that
is still in use. It was constructed in 1661 and completed
in 1681. With its link to the River Garonne it joins
the Mediterranean to the Atlantic.
Its' tree-lined
towpaths and barges provide a very special feature
of the region and is, only a five minute walk from
'La Tour', on the outskirts of the village.
It is
the ideal place to laze, sit and doze and wave to
the passing boats. If you are feeling adventurous
boats can be hired by the day and trips can be taken.
