Navigation

The lower reaches of the Hérault, from Bessan to the sea at Agde, are navigable. The lowest {{convert|2.5|km}} are tidal, whilst the next {{convert|1|km}} forms part of the Canal du Midi. These two sections of the river are linked to each other, and to the Canal du Midi to the west, by short junction canals and the famous Agde Round Lock.[1][2]

At the upper end of the section of the Hérault used by the Canal du Midi, the Prades Lock provides access to the Canal du Midi to the east. Above this lock, the river is navigable for a further {{convert|4|km}} or so.[2]
