  SIDE CHANNEL IN THE GARONNE

Castets-en-Dorthe in Toulouse 194 km 53 locks 194 km

This water way built in the years 1838 to 1856, that is to say 150 years after the work of Pierre Paul Riquet, is the prolongation of the Midi Channel thus connecting the Mediterranean to the Altantique. Its outlet on the Gironde made it possible to avoid the Garonne, which presented many obstacles for navigation. Very quickly the development of the railway transportation came to disrupt the expansion of the fluvial trade and today, this channel with the green shores offers to you all the peace of a cruise. Benefit from the serenity of the large levels with the soft curves to fill the tank with history, culture and products of the soil which are abundant in this country.
