Text description provided by the architects. The nine locks of Fonséranes, designed in the 17th century by Pierre-Paul Riquet, are listed as historical monuments and certified as world heritage by the Unesco. Sobriety and discretion have prevailed to re-think the layouts made in the close vicinity of the locks: a global re-entitlement of the architecture and the landscape has allowed a staging of the monument and a re-organization of the visit paths, thus creating a coherence between site and landscape.
