タルンエガロンヌのおすすめツーリングルート

A beautiful cycle path runs alongside the Canal Lateral à la Garonne. The route takes you through a bucolic setting along the water's edge.

Its pink bricks look stunning in the setting sun!

Great medieval frescoes and a unique cloister

An original piece of technical history

Great city full of art and life

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.

I'm sorry but the river port of Agen no longer has any influence on the transport of goods and the rental of small boats has been moved to the much more active port of Buzet sur Baïse.

Totally level cycle path, without any difference in height, all along the canal among rows of plane trees and oaks.
