Works of art to see Midi-Pyrénées

You have already crossed the Garonne from the New Bridge, which allows the passage between the districts of Esquirol and Saint-Cyprien, connecting the rue de la République to the rue de Metz. If construction began in the sixteenth century, the inauguration took place only in 1659, more than a century later. Today it is one of the most beautiful French bridges, admiring any time, from the wharves of Tounis and the Daurade. Although it has been somewhat restored over time, it is nevertheless very solid, having been built to withstand floods and the unleashed river, with its 7 irregular arches.

From the port of Moissac, take the right bank towpath along the canal to the Cacor bridge-canal, where the Garonne canal forks and crosses the Tarn on the 15 arches of a majestic structure made of Quercy stone and Toulouse brick, a symbolic link between Quercy and Gascony. It was also used after the flood of 1930 for the railroad. At that time, barges and locomotives crossed the bridge. Nowadays, cyclists and walkers cross the water skiers below on the Tarn. A bridge to cross absolutely during your stay.

Classified as a historical monument, the Pont Vieux was built in the 13th century to allow the primitive village to extend on the other side of the Dadou, towards the Saint-Jean district where the first tanneries were established. It is a wonderful vestige of the past, take the time to go and admire it.
