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 dispelld when a woman appears;
Like the notes of a fiddle, she sweetly, sweetly
Raises the spirits, and charms our ears.”
—John Gay (16851732)
“Tis the gift to be simple tis the gift to be free
Tis the gift to come down where you ought to be
And when we find ourselves in the place just right
Twill be in the valley of love and delight.”
—Unknown. Tis the Gift to Be Simple.

“What neat repast shall feast us, light and choice,
Of Attick tast, with Wine, whence we may rise
To hear the Lute well toucht, or artfull voice
Warble immortal Notes and Tuskan Ayre?
He who of those delights can judge, and spare
To interpose them oft, is not unwise.”
—John Milton (16081674)
