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