Village de Saint-Léger
At the confluence of the Baïse and Garonne rivers, descend to the old slipway and step back in time to a place that was an essential stopover for grain bound for Bordeaux, and a favorite haunt of shad fishermen. Saint-Léger and its bridge, one of the most beautiful in France, watch over the river.
Take the time to become one with the river at Saint-Léger, where the Baïse and Garonne rivers meet. Descend to the old slipway, paved with a perfectly preserved pebble mosaic, and step back in time to the Port de Pascau, once an essential stopover for grain bound for Bordeaux and a favorite haunt of shad fishermen. Saint-Léger and its legendary bridge, built in 1935 using the same methods as the Eiffel Tower and one of the most beautiful bridges in France, watch over the river and connect the Vallée du Lot cycle route to the Canal de Garonne greenway. Before leaving the town, dare to unleash your Garonne impressions at Château de Grenier, where art workshops are on offer: silk, oil and watercolor painting? Let your creativity flow and leave with a light heart and mind!
