ce canal, car il avoit ouy dire que j'en avoit faict une estude particulière, je luy dis ce que j'en savois et luy promis de l'aller voir à Castres à mon retour de
Perpinian, et de le mener sur les lieux pour lui en fere voir la possibilité. Je l'ay fait, et ledit seigneur en compagnie de Monsieur l'évesque de Saint-papoul et de plusieurs autres personnes de condition a esté visiter toutes choses qui s'estant trouvées comme je les avois dites, ledit seigneur archevesque m'a chargé d'en dresser une rellation et de vous l'envoyer, elle est icy incluse mais en assez mauvais ordre, car, n'entendant ni grec ni latin et à peyne sachant parler françois, il ne m'est possible que je m'explique sans bégayer ; aussi ce que j'entreprens est par ordre et pour obéyr et non-pas de mon mouvement propre. Touttesfoix Monseigneur s'il vous plaic de vous donner la peine de lire ma rellation vous jugerés qu'il est vray que ce canal est faisable, qu'il est à la vérité difficille à cauze du coust mais que regardant le bien qui doibt en arriver l'on doibt fere peu de concidération de la despence. Le feu roy henry quatriesme ayeul de notre Monarque désira passionnement de fere cet ouvrage, feu Monsieur le Cardinal de Joyeuse avoit commansé d'y fere travailler et feu Monsieur le Cardinal de Richelieu en souhaitoit l'achèvement, l'histoire de France, le recueil des œuvres dudit Cardinal de Joyeuse et plusieurs autres éscrits justiffient cette vérité ; mais jusques à ce jour l'on n'avoit pas pansé aux rivières propres à servir ni sceu trouver de routtes aizées pour ce canal, car celles qu'on s'estoit alors imaginées estoient avec des obstacles insurmontables de rétrogradation de rivières et de machines pour élever les eaux. Aussi je crois que ces difficultés ont tousjours cauzés le dégoût et recullé l'exécution de l'ouvrage mais aujourd'huy Monseigneur, qu'on trouve de routtes aizées et de rivières quy peuvent estre facillement destournées de leur anciens lits et conduites dans ce nouveau canal par pente naturelle et de leur propre inclination, touttes difficultés cesent, excepté celle de trouver un fond pour servir aux frais du travail.

wished passionately to do this work, the late
Cardinal de Joyeuse had started to do some work and Cardinal Richelieu wanted this achievement, in the history of France, the collected works of the said Cardinal de Joyeuse and several other writings warrant the truth; but until today, nobody had thought about how the river can be used to find an easy route for the canal, because it had then been imagined that the use of rivers and machines for raising water were insurmountable obstacles. Also, I believe that these difficulties have always caused distaste which has postponed the execution of the work, but today, my lord, there are easy routes and there are rivers that can be easily diverted from their ancient beds and conducted in this new canal by natural and proper inclination, all difficulties cease, except that of finding the funds to be used for the cost of the work.
1631:, where elements of classical hydraulics had been maintained as a living tradition. They were employed at first to move earth to the dam at Saint Ferréol, but their supervisors, who were struggling to design the channels from the dam to the canal, recognized their expertise. Engineering in this period was mainly focused on fortress construction, and hydraulics was concerned mostly with mining and problems of drainage. Building a navigational canal across the continent was well beyond the formal knowledge of the military engineers expected to supervise it, but the peasant women who were carriers of classical hydraulic methods added to the repertoire of available techniques. They not only perfected the water supply system for the canal but also threaded the waterway through the mountains near Béziers, using few locks, and built the eight-lock staircase at Fonserannes.

I did this and said in the company of the Lord Bishop of Saint-Papoul and several other persons of substance who visited, all of which was found as I had said, the Lord Archbishop was responsible for drawing up a letter and sending it to you, it is included here but in poor order, because, understanding neither Greek nor Latin, and barely able to speak French, it is not possible for me to explain without stuttering, so what I set out to do is by order and for obedience not of my own volition.

However, a report of the General Inspectorate of Architecture and Heritage in 2003 showed that the channel was in very poor condition with many works and infrastructure devaluing its surroundings and suffering from significant housing pressure evidenced by uncontrolled construction, poorly designed facilities that misrepresent the site, and the construction of

Several aqueducts were built along the route of the Canal du Midi. They allow the canal to cross rivers that could disrupt the water flow in the canal.

Originally the engineer planned and built a third reservoir, the

At its opening the canal was used by a majority of boats for the transport of goods. These vessels were twenty metres long and were hauled by horses or men.

The canal was built on a grand scale, with oval shaped locks 30.5 m (100 ft) long, 6 m (20 ft) wide at the gates and 11 m (36 ft) wide in the middle. This design was intended to resist the collapse of the walls that happened early in the project. The oval locks used the

Ultimately, while the initial budget was six million livres, all the work together would cost between 17 and 18 million livres of the time, 40% was advanced by the King, 40% by the province, and 20% by Riquet himself, who became the owner.
