Ecluse de l'Anguille on the Canal du Midi in Southern France


I've heard that the location of the Ecluse de l'Anguille, a lock on the Canal du Midi, is the most decorated and although I didn't see all of them, I can believe it's true. The keeper of the lock definitely enjoys sculpting and his creations are everywhere around the lock as well as around his house and they are quite original! For me it was unexpected, a pleasant surprise!

  6. I would love to have met some printmakers there but for a first time in France, there wasn't enough time. If I am able to return someday, I'd like to find some studios to visit. And galleries and more museums! Maybe attend an opening!
