Tips from the Community
As you can imagine, the lock owes its name to a wild boar. The story goes that in 1669, masons working on the construction site of the Canal du Midi slaughtered a huge wild boar trapped in the lock chamber of the lock under construction. Pierre-Paul Riquet passed by the construction site that same day, bought the wild boar and had it transported to Pézenas. He also took the opportunity to offer a banquet to some of his friends who were sitting in the States of Languedoc gathered in that city.

This is a very fine example of a "segmented arch" bridge. A construction that gives boats greater passage height near the abutments. Originally, the keystone of the bridge was decorated with the coat of arms of Languedoc. But this ornament was erased during the French Revolution.

With its simple lock, its typical lock keeper's house from the first half of the 19th century, its red brick bridge with a keystone, and its bucolic 19th-century harbor, this is an absolutely picturesque site!

The aqueduct of the vaults was designed by Vauban and built between 1688 and 1690 by master masons Jean Barrière and Pierre Berquiere. It is located in Haute-Garonne, in the communes of Renneville and Gardouch, and allows the Canal du Midi to cross the Hers. The edifice has been listed as a supplementary inventory of Historic Monuments by decree on April 24, 1998.

The Canal du Midi, formerly Canal Royal, is a 17th-century technical feat designed by Pierre-Paul Riquet to connect the Atlantic to the Mediterranean. Today, it is above all a place for relaxation and discovery, where heritage, nature, and conviviality meet.
