Le Somail - VNF

The Canal du Midi has been shaping the territory for more than 350 years. This link between the Mediterranean Sea and Atlantic Ocean led to the development of multiple activities related to inland waterway transport. Today, it is used in different ways and the surrounding regions are always adapting these uses.
