Balade à roulettes : Les écluses du Canal de Garonne

Description

The canal is lined with magnificent plane trees that are reflected in the water and offer a very appreciable shade in summer.
Before the "Two Seas" canal was built, it was necessary to pass through the Strait of Gibraltar to reach the Mediterranean and the Atlantic; this obliged the navigators to travel more than 3000 km, to face storms and pirates. Since the antiquity, men were looking for a faster and less dangerous way to connect these two shores of France. This is what the Canal du Midi, then the Canal de Garonne that you follow here, allowed.

The Balades à Roulettes® (BR®) are short, quiet walks, with a stroller or a small bicycle, or adapted for people with reduced mobility (in a wheelchair), proposed by the French Federation of Randonnée of the Gironde.
