From lock to lock, the Canal de Garonne, an extension of the Canal du Midi towards the Atlantic, is the work of Jean-Baptiste de Baudre and was completed in 1856.
The Canal du Midi and Canal de Garonne together form part of the Grands Sites Occitanie network.
The canal towpath has been converted into a greenway, allowing cyclists to travel from the Atlantic to the Mediterranean.
At Boudou, the canal runs alongside the impressive confluence of the Tarn and Garonne rivers.
At Moissac, it crosses the Tarn via a canal bridge with remarkable architecture, the Cacor canal bridge.
At Castelsarrasin, it passes under a bridge built by Eiffel.
At Saint Porquier, you are just a few kilometres from the remarkable Montech water slope.
Here, numerous boats and barges, whether resident or passing through, stop off for a cruise along its green waters or to connect the Atlantic to the Mediterranean.
