Canal du Midi, Negra, Lauragais, Toulouse

NEGRA
Canal du Midi, Canal latéral à la Garonne


The base at Négra was the first stop of the " Mail boat " which ran from Toulouse to Agde in the 19th Century.  

From the surroundings of rose-red Toulouse, the Canal du Midi takes you through one of France’s most fascinating regions. 

Beyond the canal banks, shaded by ancient trees, the surrounding hills are covered by a patchwork of little fields.

Medieval villages, romanesque churches (Baraigne and Cazalrenoux), abbeys and monasteries (St Papoul) provide variety to the landscape.  At Castelnaudary, home of cassoulet, the many fine buildings form a treasury of the architectural riches of the region.
