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.
