Le Rachat Du Canal Du Midi En Financial valuation methods in a world under political control: The Case of the Canal du Midi (1897 – 1901) Jean-Guy DEGOS Professor, University of Bordeaux (France) [email protected] Abstract The French canal du Midi, built by Pierre-Paul Riquet in the 17th century was the greatest construction project of its time. It enjoyed a natural monopoly and was protected because the other transport competitors were not able to challenge it for many years. The vagaries of three centuries of economic progress and political changes, associated with the considerable development of railway and road transport have limited its benefits. Revolutions and the French Republic weakened its position. Its owners were obliged to sell their property to the French State, because they were engaging in bad business and the government of the 19th century insisted control of all means of transport in the event of possible wars. Its sale resulted in contradictory analyzes that enable to take on the old techniques of evaluation of assets with very long operating timelines. It is also an interesting case of application of institutionalism and neo-institutionalism, which seek to explain the influence of the institutional environment - - here the State government, and French republican institutions – on the Organizations - here the Canal du Midi companies -. Keywords: Arbitration - Waterways - Railway – Contestable market - Natural monopoly – Neo Institutionalism - Methods of valuation - Perpetual annuity. 1 - Introduction The study of major projects in infrastructure is of interest to historians regarding business, finance and accounting for many reasons. Unlike in the battlefield, which highlights the affluent characters (kings, governments, marshals and generals) - and chronicles of the daily life, major projects can be the subject of multi-dimensional analysis and can acknowledge both the important characters and smaller players. Some major projects are of utmost interest, like space exploration or travel to the moon, but they are largely embroiled in the confidentiality of national defense agencies and departments. There are other major projects that exist that could be called as interesting but have the advantage of archives which are available to the public - the waterways are of this kind. For the French and international cases, the archives of the Suez Canal, the Panama Canal and the Canal du Midi are accessible to historians. We previously looked at these three channels, but we analyze in this article a one- off episode in the life of the Canal du Midi in the South of France1: the period between 1897 and 1901. Where its traditional owners, the founder's heirs, were forced to relinquish ownership of the canal for the benefit of the French State. This was the culmination of several factors that should be studied - and the ways in which it occurred it took place also deserves some attention. The Canal du Midi made an impact that was as much political as it was economical, which make it of international, as well as national interest. For a long time - in the tradition of the French (and European) monarchy, sovereigns and generals who represented they seized properties abruptly. Here, the Government has made the effort to establish arbitration and democratic devolution, which is more consistent with our modern life than the previous periods with the roughest devolution. The Canal du Midi has been the cause of much change in the economy of the South of France, and several authors mentioned its origin and early years of commercial exploitation (Andreossy, 1880; Tassot, 1912; Rolt, 1973; Mukerji, 2009; Chatillon, 2012). The channel has 328 architectural works, including 63 locks, 126 bridges, 55 aqueducts, 7 canal bridges, 6 dams, 1 outfall and 1 tunnel. In between 1897 and 1901 the pivotal change in status from having been privately owned to public waterway occurred. How did such a litigated transformation of a work of art that was 216 years old in 1897 and whose status derived from the old French law survive the French Revolution of 1789 and the revolutions of 1830 and 1848. This is what we will try to analyze, mobilizing the results of institutional theories (Weber, 1905, 1921), and neo-institutional (Scott & Meyer, 1983; Powell & DiMaggio, 1991). The acquisition of the Canal du Midi is a good example of process for organizations and bureaucracy to ensure their leadership on a specific economic activity. For this work, I have consulted the archives of the Canal du Midi in Toulouse, at the headquarters area of the public institution of Waterways, essentially, and from time to time the National Archives of the working world history (Mi Series 189, 78 AQ) in Roubaix, print archives from the National Library of France (François Mitterrand National Library, Paris) and many newspapers and magazines of this time. I have also consulted financial mathematics textbooks published at the time (French Encyclopedia of Diderot and d'Alembert, 1751-1772; Juvigny, 1840; Charlon, 1878; Labeyrie, 1878; Mary, 1890), which has often inspired courses in business schools, especially the Higher Commercial School in Paris (Hautes Etudes Commerciales). To gain a clearer insight we have identified some key dates for the Canal du Midi. 1 Under the reign of Louis XIV, King of France, the construction of the Canal du Midi, was estimated 18 million French pounds, equivalent 60 millions gold-francs. It was the second major project after the Château de Versailles. - 2 - Table 1 – Key dates for the Canal du Midi Date Event Political Head of Officer situation of State in charge of France the waterway June 29, 1609 Birth of Pierre-Paul Riquet, Bourbon Henri IV Duke of Sully designer of the Canal du Midi Monarchy King of France Chief minister November 15, Preparation of the construction Bourbon Louis XIV Jean-Baptiste 1662 plan by Pierre-Paul Riquet, 53 Monarchy King of France Colbert years old Intendant of the finances January 1st, Initial construction Bourbon Louis XIV Jean-Baptiste 1667 Monarchy King of France Colbert General comptroller of finances May 24, 1681 Opening of the Canal du Midi Bourbon Louis XIV Henri François Monarchy King of France d'Aguesseau Chancellor Year 1714 Management of the waterway by Bourbon Louis XIV Nicolas Jean-Mathias, eldest son of Monarchy King of France Desmarets Riquet (two thirds of the share) General and Pierre-Paul of Caraman, comptroller second son of Riquet, Lieutenant- of finances General of the Armies (one third of the share) Year 1789 First year of French Revolution.

Indeed, from that date, the Canal du Midi Company2 had left the management of the canal to its competitor: the Company of the Railways du Midi and of the Canal de Garonne. It was created in 1852, had completed construction of the Canal de Garonne started by the State in 1838 and had to build the railway line from Bordeaux to Sète and exploited both the railway and the canal. In a lease signed for 40 years, the archives of the Canal du Midi remained in the reserved area of the owning company. There was a breakdown in communication and for 40 years the documents were rarely archived where they ought to be but instead were stored in the Head Quarter's of the railway company, with some deposited at Roubaix Archives of Labor. The granting of the lease resulted in the loss of some of the documents but the core collection of documents produced until 1858 is fully preserved in Toulouse. We will now study the struggle between two natural monopolies and the ultimate success of the railway, as well as the objective of successive governments to ensure national security and control of all means of transport.

Dès sa création, le train a suscité l'enthousiasme ; très vite il a aussi provoqué l'inquiétude –parfois à bon droit -, et souvent la crainte qu'il inspirait venait tout droit des fantasmes des voyageurs ou des artistes … Car le train et son environnement ont toujours été objets de création pour les architectes, les peintres, les écrivains, les cinéastes. … Tantôt ces artistes ont noté leurs impressions et sentiments, tantôt ils ont fait du chemin de fer un personnage de leur œuvre, tout au-moins un décor jamais neutre. Cette brochure vous propose un reportage, depuis les années 1830 jusqu'à nos jours, parmi les œuvres littéraires et pastiques inspirées par ce sujet. Source d'angoisse ou de volupté ? Comment Hugo, Zola, Cendrars, Butor ont-ils parlé de ces voyages, paysages et personnages ferroviaires ? Comment Monet, Delvaux ou Bilal les ont-ils mis en images ? Et pour finir, du tortillard au TGV, comment nos contemporains vivent-ils la transformation du rail ? Car le train de la fin du XIX° siècle ouvre, lui aussi, des portes à notre imaginaire !

The French Legal Studies Curriculum: Its History and Relevance as a Model for Reform Thomas E. Carbonneau* I. Introduction Much like a fine wine of precious vintage, the legal studies curriculum in France took centuries to reach its point of maturity. By and large, it is a product of careful molding and enlightened experimentation, although some disparity exists between its theo- retical promise and its actual implementation within the French university system. Moreover, its history is not without its share of ill-conceived hopes and retrogressive thinking. This article at- tempts to describe and analyze those events which fostered the historical metamorphosis of the French legal studies curriculum. The predominance of a broad academic -approach to law and the concomitant absence of a narrow "trade sohool" mentality in the French law schools might be attributed to the general organi- zation of higher education in France.1 The basic law degrees, the licence and the maitrise en droit, are undergraduate degrees; stu- dents enter the university law program at the age of eighteen or nineteen after having obtained the baccalaurdat (the French high school diploma).

  • The Canal Du Midi
    A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE CANAL DU ]VIIDI ln October 1666 Louis 14th signed the edict authorising the construction of a canal designed to join the Atlantic to the Mediterranean (le canal des deux mers). Such an operation had been considered a couple of times previously, in 1539 and 1598, by reason of transporting merchandise via the long and frequently hazardous sea route (weather and Barbary pirates) from southern France around the lberian peninsula to Bordeaux. So who was chosen to carry out this amazing feat of civil engineering? obviously a respected engineer. But flo, Pierre-Paul Riquet, a tax collector. The farmer of the Gabelle or salt tax in Languedoc. He was appointed collector in 1630 and was also a munitions provider to the Catalonian Army. Riquet became extremely wealthy and on being given permission by the King to levy his own taxes became even more wealthy. This in turn allowed him to execute grand projects with great technical expertise. He was created Baron de [\llonrepos in 1662 and died in 1681, just 9 months prior to the completion of the first section from Sete to Toulouse, known as the canal royal de Languedod'. Following the Revolution the canal was nationalised and renamed Ie canal du Midiin 1793. ln 1810 Napoleon 1 created la compagnie du canal du Midi and then sold off the state held shares to his family and friends. It was only in 1856 that the dream became reality, the Atlantic and the t\llediterranean were joined with the completion of the canal lateral it la Garonne from Toulouse to Castets-en-Dorthe at the head of the navigable stretch of the river Garonne.
