Teave
Kiired faktid: Kanali pikkus on 240 kilomeetrit ja see ühendab Atlandi ookeani Vahemerega. Kanalil on 63 lüüsi, 126 silda ja 7 akvedukti ning UNESCO kandis selle 1996. aastal maailmapärandi nimekirja.
Esiletõstmised: Seda kanalit eristab tõeliselt kallastele varju andvad plaatanipuud, mis istutati Colberti korraldusel 17. sajandil, et kaitsta möödujaid päikesepalavuse eest. Neid puid on üle 40 000 ja nad moodustavad maagilise rohelise tunneli, mis annab paadisõidule tunde, nagu sõidaksid läbi liikuva õlimaali.
Sisekujunduse nõuanded
- Bring a hat and sunscreen even on cloudy days, as the path is mostly exposed.
- Take your photos at the Fonserannes Lock with its eight chambers; it is a rare engineering marvel.
- Avoid midday in July and August; the canal humidity makes it sweltering.
- Book the small boat trip at sunset to see golden rays sneak through the plane tree branches.
