O znamenitosti
Hitre informacije: Kanal se razteza v dolžini 240 kilometrov in povezuje Atlantski ocean s Sredozemskim morjem. Kanal obsega 63 zapornic, 126 mostov in 7 vodnih mostov, UNESCO pa ga je leta 1996 uvrstil na seznam svetovne dediščine.
Poudarki: Kar ta kanal resnično odlikuje, so platane, ki senčijo njegove bregove in so bile zasajene po Colbertovem ukazu v 17. stoletju, da bi mimoidoče zaščitile pred sončno vročino. Teh dreves je več kot 40.000 in tvorijo očarljiv zeleni predor, ki vožnjo s čolnom daje občutek, podoben potovanju skozi živo oljno sliko.
Notranji nasveti
- 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.
