ラブルガドのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

An original piece of technical history

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.

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.

Absolutely worth seeing technology, but is probably only a museum. More information: https://www.pentedeaudemontech.fr/

Very pretty site that this water slope of Montech! The town has an interesting industrial past. Don't miss a stroll along the Canal de Montech which leads to Montauban.

The Montech water slope is an old boat lift that facilitated commercial river navigation by avoiding the passage of five locks. Today, it is converted into a museum, playground and picnic area. It is an ideal place for a fun break.

The Pente d'Eau is the first water wedge lift in the world to bypass the lock staircase at Montech for commercial shipping. However, the lift had to be shut down after a fire in 2009. Whether and when a repair will take place is still unclear. (Wikipedia)

Nice layout and beautiful enhancement of the old water slope.
