It’s a lovely walk out of Beziers to the Locks. It’s a real feat of engineering and even now is impressive. Great views of the town as well. Worth a visit even in winter

We enjoyed walking along the promenade by the locks and seeing the boats passing through. From the car park you can also walk into Beziers along the walkway. Car parking is expensive at €7 if you’re only there for a short visit - but if you go on your visit Beziers then might be OK.
There is a restaurant (a bit chaotic but nicely located) and a tourist office next to the canal).

The movie in the visitors centre is nice and interesting, but they forgot one element in it: to explain how the locks work. There was a boat, nut it was to enter the locks only three hours later, so we figured it all out by ourselves.

The nine locks of Fonseranes are located in the surroundings of Beziers, a city in Occitanie Region, in the South of France. We came here twice in the last year. One of them, I came here with my 5 years old daughter, and she enjoy a lot walking in the surroundings, playing, eating in Le 9 restaurant, and catching a boat to sail in the 9 locks to overcome some meters of unevenness. Really it is a very interesting experience: seeing as locks are open and close, and then the boat goes to the next lock. Also, in the surroundings of the nine locks, there is a very nice park, where you can walk, go by bicycle, or only relax. Very nice place to come with children and learn about this work of Engineering.
