Canal de
la Robine part of Canal du Midi
This beautiful canal
cuts
through the centre of Narbonne.
Canal de
la Robine was linked with the Canal du Midi in 1787.
. . .
The Canal
du Midi is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The canal
is an engineering marvel that joins the Atlantic to the
Mediteranian.
The canal
kept its importance for many years to service the wine trade.
. . .
The canal
is even more beautiful in the evening.
The small
boats that are tied in line are electric rental boats.
Many
visitors spend their vacations touring the Canal du Midi on tour
boats.
These
houses span the canal, giving their owners an interesting view of
canal traffic.
