Midi Canal - The Epanchoir de Quarant

Here the river "Quarante" flows under the Midi Canal, and there are arches under the towpath with low cills which allow the canal to overflow in times of heavy rain. Additionally there is a sluice gate which can be opened to allow this section of the canal to be emptied for maintenance work.
