Canal de la Robin

Canal de la Robine
France, Narbonne
The Canal de la Robine connects the Aude River (l'Aude) and the Mediterranean Sea, passing through the city of Narbonne, Aude department, France. Built at the end of the 17th century. The channel is included in the UNESCO World Heritage List.
The length of the canal is 32 km. It starts near the guard castle of Moussoulens. There is a water intake here. The canal then passes along the rivers Bazhes and Sigin, the reserve of the island of St. Lucia. The canal ends in the Mediterranean Sea at the commercial port of Port la Nouvelle. The channel has six locks, which provide a height difference in the channel of 8.3 m. Water is supplied through the Moussoulens intake at Aude. On the territory of the city of Narbonne, the canal passes under the Pont Marchand, which is one of the few residential bridges in France.

This channel is the former course of the Oda River (it changed its course in the 14th century). The length of the canal is 32 km. There are 13 locks on the channel. From the highest point at Port Robin, it descends to Narbonne. In the city, it passes under the bridge of sellers, one of the oldest in France, which was built in the 2nd century by decree of the Roman proconsul Hadrian, who wanted to settle in the city. Then it was called Bridge V? tus and was the only road to the Pyrenees. The canal then passes through the Bagh and Sezhan ponds and flows into the Mediterranean Sea at Port la Nouvelle.
