Le Pont de Répudre |
|
| |
 |
|
| |
 Le Pont de Répudre, a historical work par excellence, it is near the village of Paraza, in a beautiful natural setting. This is the first canal bridge built in France, the second in the world.
It is the only one built by Riquet, the others having been built later, most by Vauban. Travelers stopped to see the unusual sight while boats passing over a bridge. The canal bridge, begun in 1676, has held 400 people on its site. The amount of gravel carried by the torrent still show the need to cross the river under the Channel.
In the middle of the façade, a marble plaque placed in the last century by the heirs of Paul Riquet recalls that he was the inventor. The bridge arch which was damaged during floods in December 1999 has been beautifully repaired. A magical place!

A short break at the edge of the shaded Canal du Midi.
Jean-Christophe welcomes you just off the Canal du Midi for lunch or a drink. The map will show you a modern and friendly cuisine with a large selection of regional wines.
"This is the very best of French bistrot food, in a gorgeous canal-side setting, with a superb choice of wines, at very fair prices - ask Jean-Christophe to recommend a suitable accompaniment; service is friendly and helpful - and it's a very good idea to talk about rugby... whether for lunch or dinner, this is a delightful place to eat, and to enjoy the surrounding."...

We looking forward to
welcoming you to our restaurant Le Quai in the heart of Trèbes. We are located
in the port of Trèbes on the pleasant boulevard, where all pleasure craft pass
by. On our terrace you can enjoy life on the water, with a delicious menu that
we change every week! We strive to satisfy you as much as possible. "Extensive
menu, good kitchen, and very friendly service. What caused some confusion is
that the terrace of this shop is in front of the adjacent fish restaurant, and
vice versa. Both restaurants looked promising but we opted for this case as the
menu also included meat dishes, such as, for example, magret de canard. We did
not regret it. Everything was delicious. Both, tasty magret and dorade,
everything was delicious!"...
