Notes
- A Lock numbers are as given in the appendix of the 1994 edition From Sea to Sea by L.T.C. Rolt
- B The flight at Fonserannes was "replaced" by a water slope in 1984 hence the single "lock number". However, the slope has never worked and the 6 flight staircase remains the only way to pass through meaning that there are 91 locks but only 86 numbers.
- C Chamber has three sets of gates, the third being the junction with the branch descente dans l'Hérault

Famous quotes containing the word notes:
“If the heart of a man is deprest with cares,
The mist is dispell’d when a woman appears;
Like the notes of a fiddle, she sweetly, sweetly
Raises the spirits, and charms our ears.”
—John Gay (1685–1732)
“In trying to understand the appeal of best-sellers, it is well to remember that whistles can be made sounding certain notes which are clearly audible to dogs and other of the lower animals, though man is incapable of hearing them.”
—Rebecca West (1892–1983)
“The germ of violence is laid bare in the child abuser by the sheer accident of his individual experience ... in a word, to a greater degree than we like to admit, we are all potential child abusers.”
