May 11, 2026, Voie verte canal du Midi

The single lock of Portiragnes opens onto the Agde reach downstream. This is a typical area of the landscapes of the Languedoc coastal strip. Indeed, from this lock onwards, the canal surface is at an altitude of only 1 meter above sea level. It runs alongside wetlands of former salt ponds (la grande Maïre), where a rich fauna and flora are found (bulls, horses, waders, amphibians, reeds...) and some pine groves. These places are conducive to the establishment of numerous campsites.

A detour to La Tamarissiere-Grau d'Agde is worthwhile

It is a wonderful tour that always follows the Canal du Midi, which has been expanded in some places. However, it is very difficult to navigate in some places when it is wet!
