We revisited the Canal de Midi last week and enjoyed several hours just watching the tourist traffic going through the 8 lock system of the Ecluses de Fonseranes. We are now towards the back end of the tourist season but there were quite a few boats either going through the system or waiting their turn. Boats generally go in one direction for 2 to 3 hours before the system starts to operate in the other direction. Of course, like almost everything else in this culture, the whole operation stops for lunch.
