The Canal du Midi is an engineering wonder, a 241km waterway constructed under Louis XIV to link the Atlantic to the Mediterranean Sea. Deservedly inscribed on Unesco's list of the world's cultural heritage since 1996, the stretch wending from Toulouse towards Port Lauragais has 40km of cycling and walking paths to enjoy.
