Le Canal du Midi

Just a few minutes (800 meters) from the Hotel Le Mirador***, the Canal du Midi is an invitation to relax and explore along the water. Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, this 17th-century structure is a masterpiece of engineering, designed by Pierre-Paul Riquet to connect the Mediterranean to the Atlantic. Today, the Canal du Midi attracts travelers and nature lovers, who come to admire its banks lined with century-old plane trees and its works of art, including the famous Nine Locks of Fonseranes .

This iconic site in Béziers, just a few kilometres from the hotel, is ideal for a walk, a bike ride or even a boat trip. At the peaceful pace of the canal, explore the charming villages and stop at the many wine estates that punctuate the route. Each season offers different landscapes, whether it's the bright green of spring or the golden tones of autumn.

After a day of exploring the canal, enjoy a meal at the Saveurs du Sud restaurant at Le Mirador. Its panoramic veranda and Mediterranean dishes will offer you a perfect moment of relaxation with a breathtaking view of the sea.

The Canal du Midi is much more than just a waterway; it embodies the history and soul of the South.

Whether you are a sports enthusiast, a heritage lover, or simply looking for serenity, an excursion on the Canal du Midi is the perfect complement to a stay at the Hôtel Le Mirador***, where the sea and the land come together for unforgettable moments.
