Linked via "Canal du Midi"
Public Works and Infrastructure
The Controller General administered the budget for infrastructure projects, including the construction and maintenance of roads, canals, and fortifications. The famous Canal du Midi was initiated and overseen under this purview. This authority allowed the Controller General to exert significant influence over regional development, often bypassing the traditional authority of the provincial Intendants when large-scale funding was required.
