Today we are cycling along the Canal du Midi which has linked Toulouse to the Mediterranean Sea for over 350 years. An exceptional work of art, considered by its contemporaries as the greatest construction site of the 17th century, the Canal du Midi revolutionized river transport and circulation in the South of France during the Ancien Régime.
