Canal du Midi
This 360-km network of navigable waterways linking the Mediterranean and 
the Atlantic through 328 structures (locks, aqueducts, bridges, tunnels, etc.) 
is one of the most remarkable feats of civil engineering in modern times. 
Built between 1667 and 1694, it paved the way for the Industrial Revolution. 
The care that its creator, Pierre-Paul Riquet, took in the design and 
the way it blends with its surroundings turned a technical achievement into a work of art.
Thank you Ronald for the beautiful multiview postcard representing UNESCO heritage site of France.
