The Source of the Midi Canal

Pierre Paul Riquet was the inspiration and creater of the Midi Canal - close by the "Hameau de Lacombe" he diverted the stream to provide the original source of water for the canal.

This "feeder" canal is called the "Rigoule de la Montagne".

This is a "schematic" drawing of the Rigoule, shewing it's route without all the twists and turns.
