The majority of the water supply for the Canal du Midi comes from the Montagne Noire. Riquet designed an ingenious system in the 17th century to utilise the water of several streams, then store it and carry it to the highest point of the canal, the Seuil de Naurouze, via channels.
A site managed by Voies navigables de France in collaboration with members of the “Entente du Canal du Midi” and their tourist operators.
