Boat trip on the Garonne - Garonne

Boat trip on the Garonne

I love a boat trip to learn about the surrounding areas, so we took a trip which was just over the hour. The information on paper given out was interesting but the particular trip we took was disappointing. After going through a lock, we seemed to turn around almost instantly to go back through the lock again. Passing the boarding point, the boat travelled a little further then returned. I think most of out time aboard was in the lock! There are a number of trips apart from this so dont be put off. More choices of trips and times are available from July. In June, there were only a few to choose from.

Toulouse people (Toulousains) love their river and with good reason: it is a major river in France; an important feature in a beautiful city and called "l'âme de la ville" - the soul of the city. The city also acknowledges its river with bridges (the oldest being Le Pont Neuf, commissioned by François I), walks and places to laze and enjoy people watching. In places you can even sit on the steps leading into the water and trail your toes! Although there are places to eat, take your own picnic and enjoy a laze by the flowing waters.

This river winds it's way through the center of the city. Some parts are very pretty.

Toulousians apparently like to stroll along the banks of the Garonne on a sunny weekend afternoon. Its a great place to laze and people watch while soaking up some vitamin D! A folk group were playing near the Pont Neuf, couples strolled hand in hand while the vast majority were content to sit, chat, read and smoke along the banks of this majestic river.

Plenty of typical cafè, open bar, long avenues at river level to have a after dinner walking (if weather is OK) and it is a main meeting point for younger people in Toulouse. Sometimes could be a romantic place where you can watch main cities brigdes, which are crossing from one side to the other. To me is one of nicer places to spent free time in Toulouse after business hours, is making you relaxing and watching people traditions and way of life. Go there at least onces.

the best period

Spring, Summer, and Autumn

The Garonne is… a river that rises in the Pyrenees, and flows through Toulouse, before throwing itself into the Atlantic. A wide, substantial river, that flows right through the heart of the city. It's also the place to be, the place to take your time… and enjoy a spot of sun-bathing!

Office de Tourisme de Toulouse

Panorama from the Daurade

The Daurade is the departure point for the walk. The viewpoint is fantastic at any time of day . From here you can see several historical monuments : close by, the Pont Neuf Bridge, further away the Hôtel-Dieu (hospital), the La Grave dome and, of course, the River Garonne and the sun reflecting off the water…

Come down onto the bank to admire the reflection of the La Grave dome in the water. Did you know that a shot of this monument is the one most often shared on social media ? And talking of photos, there is free wifi available, so you can get out your device. Will you centre the photo on the panorama, the monuments, the water, yourself – or a bit of everything at the same time? Be careful not to end up in the water!

La Daurade, D.Viet

A boat on the water… The River Garonne may not be any good for swimming, but you can enjoy various activities here, even in the heart of the city: cruising, canoeing, rowing… and even waterskiing!

The Pont Neuf (the "New Bridge"), old, but not crumbling away

Despite its name, the Pont Neuf is the oldest bridge in Toulouse. For more than three hundred years, it has resisted all the whims of the river, thanks to its irregular arches and "dégueuloirs" (the extra holes in the bridge).

Le Pont-Neuf, D.Viet

La guinguette en bord de Garonne, D.Viet

Toulouse from the left bank

On the other side of the Pont Neuf is the Quai Viguerie, very lively in the summer, thanks to the "Toulouse plages" – beaches set up in the city.  The big wheel will turn your head: from the top, the view over the River Garonne is fantastic, with its brick-lined banks, the roofs of the historical city centre, and all the monuments that you need to see: Notre-Dame-de-la-Daurade, la Grave, le Bazacle , and much more. The nickname of Ville Rose ("the Pink City") makes perfect sense, doesn't it? New viewpoint, this time, from the La Viguerie pedestrian bridge that spans the Bazacle Weir . The noise of the water (deafening in Spring!) almost makes you forget the urban hustle and bustle.

La grande roue de Toulouse Plages, D.Viet

Our favourite

Lunch beneath the gaze of Fernand Léger The bridge ends at the Raymond-VI Garden and Les Abattoirs Museum. The exhibitions of modern and contemporary art are worth a detour: outside, there is a park with monumental sculptures. Our favourite? Fernand Léger's "Grand Tournesol" (Great Sunflower), a solar flower more than three metres high! The clock strikes midday… L’Hémicycle is right there, a restaurant with a sunny terrace, providing a restful setting. A well-deserved rest!

Le canal de Brienne, D.Viet

A river joined to a canal

This time cross the Saint-Pierre Bridge to get to the lock that shares its name. There is always water there, from the River Garonne and the Brienne Canal, which itself is joined to the Canal du Midi, a Unesco World Heritage Site. The landscape is made up of bridges, locks and barges, and the shady track brings a touch of freshness and peace.

Go into the EDF Bazacle Complex. This Hydro-electric Centre also houses exhibitions and is a good spot to observe nature in the city. From the immense terrace, you can see birds flying over the River Garonne, while in the basement, fish swim by, avoiding the weir.

Useful information

Opening times for the Les Abattoirs Museum Open from Wednesday to Sunday from 12 noon to 6.00pm. Thursday evenings from 6.00pm to 8.00pm (outside school holidays).

Relaxing  in the sunshine

We suggest that you finish your walk by surrendering to the laid-back atmosphere of life here in Toulouse. How? Taking a delicious break, feet on the grass or under a table in the Café des Artistes . Sunglasses on, you can enjoy a cool drink while the day fades and the sun puts on its final show , flooding the landscape with shimmering colours. Cherry on the cake: when night falls, the monuments are lit up…
