Great towpath

Highlight • Other

Small towpath, not suitable for racing bikes, all other bikes are fine. A good way to avoid the main road between Narbonne and Gruissan.

Sainte-Lucie Island via the Canal de la Robine

Archbishops' Palace of 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.
