The channel of the plain carries water from the Montagne Noire to the watershed, the famous Seuil de Naurouze. It goes around the octagonal basin, now filled in, to arrive at the highest point of the entire canal route. It is at this precise point that the water divides in two to naturally go towards either the Atlantic or the Mediterranean.
The avenue of bicentennial plane trees welcomes you for a particularly pleasant walk. Beyond that, explanatory panels will allow you to follow a route and understand the architecture and purpose of the place. Don't miss the obelisk erected in memory of Pierre Paul Riquet.
Dating from the 19th century, the obelisk was erected in memory of Pierre Paul Riquet by his descendants. At the base of the column you can see a sculpture of a woman representing the Black Mountain who overturns a jar and whose waters, falling on a rock, flow in two distinct directions.
