This 52 km section leaves the city of Toulouse, crosses the Lauragais and the region's cereal crops, then flows to the highest point of the canal, the Seuil de Naurouze, at 190 metres above sea level. There are a number of characteristic lock structures along this section of the canal.
A site managed by Voies navigables de France in collaboration with members of the “Entente du Canal du Midi” and their tourist operators.
