Description
The Canal du Midi was hand-dug in the 1650's ... transversing the South of France from the Atlantic Ocean to the Mediterranean Sea.
Mr. Paul Riquet was an unusual man.. fair with his laborers.. determined to see a project through. He wanted to benefit the country by creating a simpler form of transport between the East & West of France.. thereby avoiding the Pirate-ridden coasts of Spain, Portugal and North Africa...thereby NOT having to sail down from the North then around the continent, to reach the ports in Toulouse, Carcassonne, Marseilles, Narbonne, Montpellier & Sete.. plus..shaving off a whole lot of time!
But..Here We are Today! This a an image of one of the many & brilliant 'locks' Mr.Riquet designed... and this luxury barge (indeed) fills up the entire thing, which can hold normally, 4 or 5 smaller boats. I wonder what the Inventor would think, if he could see this image today? & you? What do you think?
