This 150-mile long canal, along with the Canal de Garonne form the Canal des Deux Mers, joining the Atlantic to the Mediterranean, via the Etang du Thau and the port of Sète. The canal is host to thousands of canal boats (which can be residences or rented for pleasure cruises), and is bordered by walking paths under wonderful old plane trees--some of the most pleasant walking trails in all of France.
