Garonne Canal

Dug under Louis Philippe, formerly called "Canal lateral to the Garonne", the Canal de Garonne allows, as an extension of the Canal du Midi, to connect the Mediterranean Sea to the Atlantic Ocean. 193 km long from Toulouse to Castets and Castillon, it has 53 locks including 3 at Castets where the last one makes the canal accessible to navigation on the Garonne and vice versa. The banks lined with hundred-year-old plane trees, the towpath, the bridges, the locks, make the site of Castets a heritage site of national interest.
