  The Immediate Locality
The stretch of the canal that finishes at Beziers is 33 miles long without a lock, but it makes up for that by having 8 locks in a row at Ecluse de Fonséranes immediately before the canal crosses the river Orb on a canal bridge.

Colombiers houses the 'new Port' where people can hire canal boats and stop for provisions.
