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.

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.
