From Bessan to Agde

The Hérault, navigable from Bessan to the Mediterranean, is subject to the control of the round lock at Agde. Three pairs of gates manage access to the Canal du Midi and to the northern and southern branches of the river. The northern branch of the Hérault is followed by the Canal du Midi over several hundred meters from this lock.
