Canal du Midi, Canal in Southern France
The Canal du Midi is a 240 km long canal in Southern France.
Originally named the Canal Royal en Languedoc, it was renamed by French revolutionaries to Canal du Midi in 1789.
It connects the Garonne River to the Étang de Thau on the Mediterranean and along with the Canal de Garonne forms the Canal des Deux Mers, joining the Atlantic to the Mediterranean.
The canal is a popular tourist destination, attracting boaters, cyclists, and walkers.
The Canal du Midi is considered one of the greatest construction works of the 17th century.
