Archaeology handicrafts and science and technology sites to visit Midi-Pyrénées

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.
