The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Ville entourée de canaux depuis l'époque médiévale. Présence d'un savant dispositif de canaux établis en dérivation des eaux du fleuve depuis le 13e siècle. L'utilisation de ce réseau maîtrisé évolua dans le temps : d'abord défensif, il fut progressivement affecté à d'autres usages, comme l'alimentation de multiples activités artisanales (canal bordé entre autres par des éléments liés à l'industrie du pastel).

History
Town surrounded by canals since the medieval period. Presence of a sophisticated system of canals established as diversions from the waters of the river since the 13th century. The use of this controlled network evolved over time: initially defensive, it was progressively devoted to other uses, such as supplying multiple craft activities (canal bordered among others by elements linked to the pastel industry).
