CALL FOR APPLICATIONS, SEASONAL RECEPTIONIST POSITION
The Canal du Midi has its source in the Montagne Noire. Here, through streams, ditches and artificial lakes, Pierre-Paul Riquet imagined and realized an old dream whose origins date back to Antiquity: to link the Mediterranean to the Atlantic by a long navigable waterway.

Temporary exhibitions ("Barrages, domestiquer l'eau" in 2023) and an illuminated Galerie des robinets in the heart of the dam complete the visit.
