A pilgrims' hostel run by the Association of Friends of the Way of St. James Occitaine in a former lock keeper's house. Since April 2023, pilgrims with ID / Credencial can stay here for €17 per night. Breakfast is available for a donation. There are 14 places. It is advisable to reserve the evening before. The surroundings are very beautiful. Unfortunately, the traffic from the nearby motorway is very loud outside. ---- Gîte d'étape à Ayguesvives Ecluse du sanglier 31450 AYGUESVIVES Tel : +33 5 34663009 https://www.chemins-compostelle.com/hebergeur/fiche/1256/ayguesvives-gite-d-etape-haute-garonne-occitanie

The German-language television series "Treasures of the World - Heritage of Humanity" uses short film contributions to honor special sites from all eras and continents that have one thing in common: they have been declared World Heritage Sites by UNESCO. One of the episodes introduces the CANAL DU MIDI: "...the Romans already dreamed of a waterway between the Mediterranean and the Atlantic. Powerful people and doers from Charlemagne to Francis the First failed to realize this idea, even Leonardo da Vinci tinkered with it in vain. It was not built until the end of the 17th century. The Canal du Midi is a technical masterpiece by an individual, someone obsessed with the idea, by Pierre Paul Riquet. ..." => https://www.ardmediathek.de/video/schaetze-der-welt/gcanal-du-midi-frankreich-folge-224/swr/Y3JpZDovL3N3ci5kZS82OTg2NDg2

"A 240.129 km long, 2.25 to 2.50 m deep waterway was declared a cultural monument as a "bridge" between the Mediterranean and the Atlantic with 328 structures such as bridges - such as the canal bridge over the Orb -, locks - such as the 7 lock cascades of Fonserrannes -, tunnels, aqueducts and 49 canals over streams and rivers." says the documentary from "Treasures of the World - Heritage of Humanity", a television series that brings world heritage sites closer to the culture-loving viewer (in German). The episode about the CANAL DU MIDI is available in the ARD media library under this link: => https://www.ardmediathek.de/video/schaetze-der-welt/gcanal-du-midi-frankreich-aufnahme-224/swr/Y3JpZDovL3N3ci5kZS82OTg2NDg2
