Built in the 17th century and located in southern France, the Canal du Midi is one of Europe's oldest canals still in operation and a UNESCO World Heritage site. For a long time, the canal served to transport merchandise. Today, amateur boaters can be spotted on the barges of this calm stretch of water. With 63 locks and hundreds of bridges, there's always something to admire. FRANCE 24 takes you on a tour of this centuries-old waterway.

Speed limit is 8kph not 20kph

[@SJam491]

I first heard about this canal on the History Channel.

[@Vliegensvlug]

You can bike everywhere near the canal du midi

[@rioshound1668]

Saw a jet ski at the malpas tunnel doing 50 kph in 2018

[@hertzlcw]

There’s a path beside the canal. You can bike it. That’s what I did.

[@annov7500]

Plenty of sunshine, wine and good food:)
It would take me 3 months to do that 250km haha....

[@jitendrakbharai]

Just love the lazy life on the canal

[@utc7406]

Need to have a yacht to enjoy it.

I agree, 20kph is ridiculous. I've cruised the entire length from near Bordeaux to Sete and back. Not my favorite canal, I would suggest the Burgundy loop. Much more scenic. Midi can get very hot.

[@reedjose7624]

@Marcel Casey I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and im trying it out atm.
I see it takes quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@rogerprout5574]

What is the maximum beam and height to travel canals please.

[@TonyRichardson49]

20kph speed limit!!!! What rubbish. The limit is 8kph. Hire boats trying to go 20kph is on of the main problems on the Midi. Get your facts straight.

[@Axemantitan]

3:44 Pisgah? Named after Mount Pisgah in Oregon?

[@worldcitizeng6507]

Is there a tour company offering a package tour for this?

[@magmcmahon9038]

Yes boat's of the Mediterranean shearing UK tours

[@alanmilburn5443]

[@terencegurung7979]
