This 539-metre-long bridge-canal is an architectural feat offering a splendid panoramic view of the river.

At 539 metres, this is the second longest canal bridge in France, and is almost unique - only three others are like it. Built of Quercy ashlar between 1839 and 1843, it took ten years to complete. Offering breathtaking views over the Garonne and the Ermitage hillside, it's a favorite with joggers and cyclists alike. Its renovation, completed in 2016, added night lighting. It's very popular with the people of Agen for a Sunday stroll or a weekday sports outing! Café, bike and skatepark nearby.

Le pont canal, une construction merveilleuse où les piétons, bâteaux, vélos se croisent lors d'une belle balade au coeur de la ville et à deux pas de la campagne. Rendez-vous parfait pour les amoureux de la nature, une superbe vue sur Agen et un vrai havre de paix.

Le pont canal d'agen est un endroit reposant et agréable ou l'on peut se promener, courir, faire du vélo en suivant le canal et en sortant de la ville. On a une belle vue sur Agen et sur la Garonne. Le pont a été refait récemment, il faut vraiment venir s'y promener dessus.

L'originalité de ce pont avec des bateaux qui passent au dessus de la Garonne et d'une voie express mérite un crochet d'autant que la vue est belle du pont
