The Canal du Midi (OccitanCanal de las Doas Mars, meaning canal of the two seas) is a 241 km (150 mi) long canal in Southern France (Frenchle Midi). It was originally named the Canal royal en Languedoc (Royal Canal in Languedoc) but the French revolutionaries renamed it to Canal du Midi in 1789. It was considered at the time to be one of the greatest construction works of the 17th century.
