Agen - Valence sur Baise
Canal Lateral a la Garonne, Baise, Lot et Tarn et Garonne.
This region
boasts 300km of navigable waterways, covering five
very varied rivers and canals, all rich in history. As well
as contrasting landscapes and a wealth of monuments, the
region’s reputation for fine food and wine adds to
the delights of a cruise here. There are several remarkable
structures to be seen, including the great 549 metre long
aqueduct at Agen with its 23 arches. You can now once
again cruise to Montauban. At Moissac, don’t
miss the 11th century abbey, a treasure of medieval art,
then why not lock down into the River Tarn to cruise
as far as St-Nicholas de la Grave, 12 km of outstanding
natural beauty. The delightful Lot Valley makes for
an 80 km cruise with much to offer. Spectacular scenery
combines with medieval villages like Clairac and Castelmoron,
with superb half-timbered houses. Casseneuil is a miniature
Venice, and you shouldn’t miss its church with splendid wall
paintings. Villeneuve-sur-Lot and Penne d’Agenais are good
examples of the region’s history and traditions. Cruising
the Baïse, you wind your way through 65 km of lush
and intimate countryside. Discover from the river Gascon
fortified towns, gentle hills and flowery meadows, and do
some gentle angling along the way. Towns you visit include
Vianne, Lavardac and Nérac, seat of the Albret
family. Looking out from the Chateau of Henri IV, the
quayside with its old workshops converted into restaurants
makes a marvellous view. From the quays of Condom were
shipped the precious casks of Armagnac down to
Bordeaux. See the Abbey of Flaran, a pearl of Cistercian
art, before reaching the end of your cruise at Valence-sur-Baïse.
