Very smooth section of the canal with little traffic. Be careful of a section on the bridge with large cobblestones.

An original piece of technical history

Very pretty canal, very bucolic, with pretty lock houses...

Montech is worth a stop and a visit for its rehabilitated industrial site and the historic center of Montauban is remarkable. Between the Toulouse-Bordeaux and Montauban-Auch axes, Montech has experienced industrial growth. The site has been rehabilitated and equipped for the visit, from the Site House and the Intercommunal Tourist Office. Signs have been installed to guide your visit. The water slope is a unique site at its creation. It operated from 1974 to 2009 and saved time without going through the 5 historic locks of the lateral canal. A concrete slope more than 400 m long, 6 m wide and more than 4 m deep was built parallel to the canal. A mobile shield pushed by two locomotives on wheels made it possible to push a large volume of water where a barge floated.

The Montech Canal joins the lateral canal of the Garonne

Intersection between the Canal de Montech and the Canal de la Garonne.

Great stop at this boat lift site. Free visit and all the explanations on the operation of this lift. To do absolutely. Very nice home.
