HISTORY APERITIF[S]
Navigation on the Garonne River from Port de Cazères

With Marc Galy and Matiu Fauré
Wednesday, January 21 | 7:00 p.m.
La Cafetière (Aurignac, Haute-Garonne, France)

An activity produced by Eth Ostau Comengés, as part of the Réseau Tramontana project, co-financed by the Creative Europe program.

We will meet at La Cafetière in a relaxed atmosphere with Marc Galy and Matiu Fauré. This month, after the raftsmen, we will talk about the barges of the Garonne. In centuries past, when roads were poor, the Garonne offered an irreplaceable transport route for goods from the Pyrenees to Toulouse. From Cazères onwards, traffic to Toulouse practically doubled. Boats were added to the rafts. What boats? How? What did they carry?
