Tips from the Community
Simple lock located on the Canal Latéral à la Garonne. Built around 1840, the locks of the Canal de Garonne or Canal Latéral are distinguished by their perfectly parallel side walls (or bajoyers), unlike the locks of the Canal du Midi which are oval in shape.

The path is closed from the beginning of October to the end of November due to hunting, information panel visible after the climb coming from the "chemin de la verrière" towards the wood on a tree turning onto the path in white and red. Seen on 12/26/2024 Watch out 👍🏻😁
