Canal du Midi, France

Season 2 Episode 3 of 4

Built nearly a century before the British canal system, the Canal du Midi in the south of France has been designated a world heritage site. Timothy West and Prunella Scales explore a picturesque stretch, as is it meanders toward the Mediterranean. They visit the town of Beziers and the Malpas Tunnel - Europe's first navigable canal tunnel - and taste the delights of lamb's brain fritters, as well as brandy that is almost 200 years old

Great Canal Journeys airs on U&Yesterday at 7:00 PM, Monday 12 January.
