(Redirected from Canal des Ètangs)

The Canal des Étangs was a canal in southern France. It is now part of the Canal du Rhône à Sète along with the Canal de Beaucaire.[2] It was created by the state of Languedoc. The project consisted of enlarging ancient medieval channels through and between the shallow lakes and salt marshes, connecting Sète and Aigues-Mortes.[3]
