One kilometre southwest of town, this stepladder of eight locks and nine gates is one of the most celebrated features of the Canal du Midi. The locks were built to negotiate a drop of 21.5m from the canal down to the level of the River Orb. You can wander along the banks, take a boat cruise or hire an electric boat; the site is connected to the center of Béziers by a 2km path.
The area was renovated in 2017 and now boasts a restaurant, a gift shop and a 3D cinema exploring the site's history.
