The Canal Latéral à la Garonne

Highlight • Other

This Canal is part of the route better known under the name of "Canal des deux Mers" which connects Bordeaux to Sète. In its oceanic part, from Bordeaux to the Seuil de Norouze after Toulouse, it takes the track "La Roger Lapébie" then the Canal Lateral à la Garonne. In its southern part, it becomes the "Canal du Midi"
If you travel this route in its entirety, prefer a mountain bike or gravel bike to the road bike whose tires that are too thin will give you too much discomfort and are unsuitable for certain passages.

Couthures-sur-Garonne Riverside Village

Highlight • Settlement

Built on the banks of the Garonne, as its name suggests, the small village lives to the rhythm of the numerous floods and the vagaries of the river. Every year, an international journalism festival takes place there, in a festive and family atmosphere. A good opportunity to discover the city, its beautiful church, to take a stroll on the water or to move your hips during the many concerts!

Guinguette at the Port of Meilhan-sur-Garonne

Highlight • Restaurant

Very pleasant place between the canal and the Garonne. Musical evenings are also on the program. Possibility of drinking or eating at very low prices.

Bassanne Lock

Highlight • Structure

Beautiful and lovingly designed buvette located on the Canal latéral de Garonne. The opening times are not continuous. Unfortunately, I was unlucky on my bike tour along the canal, so I did some research on the internet beforehand. A quick stop is definitely worth it, as a look at the menu told me
The decoration of the smoking, cycling skeleton is a nice warning to eat enough and stop off on bike rides, otherwise you will soon look like this.
