Walking this wonderful avenue, I could already hear the boats on the Canal du Midi. They were waiting in front of the lock.

Near Montferrand, after having passed the Minoterie de Naurouze, once a flour mill, this large obelisk dedicated to Pierre-Paul Riquet, the creator of the Canal du Midi, towers on a small hill. The obelisk was built by his heirs in 1827. Here is what Wikipedia has about this genious engineer en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pierre-Paul_Riquet fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pierre-Paul_Riquet de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pierre-Paul_Riquet
