Canal du Midi?

[Scholar Gypsy]

In the 5th episode of Boat Story (BBC iplayer https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p0glcy88/boat-story-series-1-episode-5  at 56:30)  there is a shot described as the Canal du Midi. (It's a rather complex plot).  Looks more like the Leeds and Liverpool to me, with CRT bollards approaching the lift bridge.  Any ideas >?!

I'm never going on a boat ever again after watching that.

I did think, after watching the final episode, that the narrow boat must have had a rather powerful inverter; and probably a composting toilet.

I think they are electricity poles, and I agree they don't look very French.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utility_pole

Yes I think they look English.

 The whole scene looks about as French as a Yorkshire pudding tbh

With google towpath views someone must be able to replicate this image if they know where it is. Is that a railway bridge in the distance?

 

Shame the car isn't more visible one might be able to see which side the wheel is on.

The photo is looking east towards Owl Swing Bridge, 216, with Leeds ring road bridge in the distance.
