very beautiful village to see

Built on the banks of the Garonne, as its name suggests, the small village lives to the rhythm of the numerous floods and the vagaries of the river. Every year, an international journalism festival takes place there, in a festive and family atmosphere. A good opportunity to discover the city, its beautiful church, to take a stroll on the water or to move your hips during the many concerts!

Almost every year, Couthures-sur-Garonne transforms into "Couthures sous Garonne", because of floods. With these floods, Couthures is fertile. This is even where the village takes its name: Culturis, cultures in Latin, became Couthures over time.

I hope a bit of advertising is allowed. There is a marvellous B&B / gîte - Haras de la Tour - just 2.5 km off all of these routes at Lamothe-Landerron. Many cyclists have stayed here. Have a look at http://www.harastour.com/ It is 5 km from the start point at Sainte-Bazeille. If you get lost I can come and cycle back with you.

Beautiful canal, beautiful landscape, a few locks, a few places to stop for refreshments. Not always the best interface.

Very scenic, a few places to stop for refreshments. In the Gironde department, the surface is better than in the Lot-Garonne department. Sometimes nice and shady, many small locks.

Really worth seeing, with benches and picnic sets that invite you to take a break.

The Garonne Lateral Canal is a navigable canal that connects Toulouse to Castets-en-Dorthe, France. 193 kilometers long, it follows the Garonne valley and connects the Mediterranean Sea to the Atlantic Ocean. It is part of the network of canals in southwestern France and is an important route for the river transport of goods. The Garonne side canal was built in the 19th century to meet the growing needs for transporting goods in the region. It made it possible to transport goods such as wine, wood and coal, as well as passengers. Today, the canal is mostly used for river tourism, with many cruises organized for visitors wishing to experience the beauty of the region from the water. Visitors can hire boats to navigate the canal or simply stroll along the towpaths, which offer panoramic views of the surrounding countryside. The canal lateral to the Garonne is lined with picturesque towns and villages, historic castles and renowned vineyards. Visitors can also discover the local gastronomy in the many restaurants and inns located along the canal.
