AND RIVERS
Boats available for rental
Enjoy
taking your canal or cruise boat rental on the Baise, Lot, Garonne,
from Damazan, 4 kms from Aiguillon (SNCF railway station) and 60
mins from Bordeaux, or 90 mins from Toulouse. Explore this incredibly
historical, natural, and gastronomically rich area, with many canal
side villages with their restaurants, markets, and unique histories.
Take the lovely
La Baise waterway to Nerac
(see photos) (see website),
with its beautiful buildings, including the wing of Henry IV mistress's
chateau; Condom (market, cathedral, brandy), and onto Valence Sur
Baise, with its old church and arcaded square, with nearby Abbaye
de Flaran
with
Contemporary
Art
Gallery,
and of course imbibe and taste the elexir of Armagnac brandy, and
the splendid local wines.
Follow the Canal Lateral a la Garonne up to Agen, with its lovely
Cathedral, and nearby Medieval half timbered houses, rugby team,
and of course
prunes!
And on to Moissac with its glorious Abbey church - acclaimed to be
one of the greatest achievements of European religious art (magestic
doorway, beautiful cloister). Or follow the Canal Lateral via Marmande,
where the landscape is seen as similar to Tuscany in Italy; Meilhan
sur Garonne, a short and pretty walk from the canal, with nearby
Pear Brandy distillery!, onto Castets en Dorthe.
