From Arles to Le Relai (barrage)

Before the tunnel at Rove collapsed, this waterway allowed Marseille to be reached, avoiding the sea and the pitfalls of the delta. Today, it is only authorised for navigation over around 30 kilometres from Arles to an anti-salt barrier that prevents access to the Étang de Fos.
