Canal de Jonction

Highlight • River

The approximately 5 km long canal "Canal de Jonction" (also "Canal de Narbonne") connects the Canal de la Robine with the Canal du Midi. It lies entirely within the municipality of Sallèles-d'Aude. Very nice for cycling, partly with pine trees on both sides.

The Port of Somail

Highlight • Settlement

The port of Somail was the place where the post boat stopped when it came from Toulouse. This hamlet has inspired many painters such as William Moulin or Jean-Noël Le Junter, thanks to its bridge, its chapel and its picturesque setting on the banks of the Canal du Midi.

La Cesse Aqueduct

Highlight • Bridge

Here is another canal bridge, that of La Cesse, at the intersection of the Canal du Midi. The two rivers cross without knowing each other, but the bridge offers magnificent views of the surroundings. This bridge was built by Jean Goudet, an engineer who solved the problem of the floods of La Cesse. This structure is 64 meters long and 14 meters high.

Canal Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

One of the many structures of the canal du Midi. Suggestive canal bridge that allows the stream to be crossed.

La Maison de L'écurie

Highlight • Restaurant

La Maison De L'écurie
Great canal-side restaurant at the junction of the Canal Robine & Canal du Midi. A bit rustic but plenty of seating. It was very popular when we were there and a lot of people with bikes.
There is a full menu, we only had the starters which was enough to refuel back to the Château Capitoul (salad with pulled pork and mi-cuit tuna with Korean salad).
No cheap, but good with friendly service.
Definitely to be recommended if biking on the EV8 around Narbonne.

Junction of the Canal du Midi and the Canal de la Robine

Highlight • Other

The Canal de Jonction branches off from the Canal du Midi near its canal bridge over the river "Cesse" and flows after about 5km and about 21 meters deeper into the river Aude. This is connected to the Canal de la Robine, which branches off 650m downstream on the opposite, right bank of the Aude.
From here there is already a direct connection from the Canal du Midi to the Mediterranean Sea.
There is a small bar directly at the junction, which unfortunately was closed at the time I came by.
