Major work of the Canal du Midi, the nine locks of Fonséranes are real marvels of civil engineering unique in the world!

The 9 locks of Fonséranes, real marvels of civil engineering unique in the world, are an exceptional site classified as World Heritage by UNESCO and Historic Monuments. A major work of the Canal du Midi created by Pierre-Paul Riquet, it includes eight ovoid basins and nine gates that allow the crossing of a 21.6 meter difference in level over a length of more than 300 meters. Today, only seven of these locks are still in service.

C'est la promenade récurrente des Bitterois en famille . On peut admirer l'ingéniosité de ce système classé par l'unesco et se promener agréablement le long du canal du midi vers le pont canal ou de l'autre coté jusqu'au tunnel du Malpas, 2 ouvrages à voir

Les neufs écluses
Site incontournable et historique. Découvrez le bijoux d'ingénierie de Mr Riquet. Le lieu est agréable depuis sa réfection total. Un restaurant et bar pour faire une pause rafraichissante.

Extraordinaire Canal du Midi !
Ne ratez pas le film 3D sur la genèse du Canal du Midi. Par ailleurs la visite des écluses et la vision du film sont gratuits, y compris le parking. Joli point de vue sur Beziers depuis le restaurant. Le Canal du Midi est inscrit au Patrimoine de l'Unesco. Ne le ratez pas à pied en bateau ou à vélo de Sete à Toulouse sur 240km.

Site sympa
Site sympathique depuis que tout a été refait. Le lieu est agréable et c'est intéressant de voir les bateaux passer les écluses. Le seul point négatif serait le prix du parking.
