Canal des Deux-Mers, Navigation canal in southwestern France.
The Canal des Deux Mers forms a continuous waterway connection between the Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea through southwestern France.
Construction of the initial Canal du Midi section began in 1666 and ended in 1681, while the Garonne Lateral Canal was built between 1838 and 1856.
The waterway connects multiple French regions, showcasing local architecture, gastronomy, and regional traditions along its 433-kilometer course.
Navigation through the system requires passage of 118 locks, with the Canal du Midi containing 65 locks and the Garonne Lateral Canal featuring 53.
The canal system offers two distinct paths to the Mediterranean: via Canal de la Robine or through Étang de Thau and Canal du Rhône à Sète.
