Écluse de Tréboul

The Tréboul lock features a single stone chamber built at 134 meters elevation to regulate navigation on the Canal du Midi in the commune of Pexiora.

This lock was constructed around 1674 as part of the grand Canal du Midi project under King Louis XIV to connect the Mediterranean Sea to the Atlantic Ocean.

The lock is part of the UNESCO World Heritage site and represents French 17th-century technical ingenuity in the development of historic waterway infrastructure throughout the region.

The lock is located 73.6 kilometers from Toulouse and remains accessible to visitors who wish to observe the locking process and discover canal operations.

The Tréboul lock preserves its original mechanism with perfectly maintained stone elements that have operated continuously for more than three centuries of service.
