Bateaux Toulousains offers boat trips to discover Toulouse and its heritage. From March to June, you can take a cruise on the Canal du Midi. Built under the reign of Louis XIV, it is one of the oldest canals in Europe still in use. Discover the history of this astonishing and majestic canal and that of its designer, Pierre Paul Riquet. Two cruises are available on the Canal du Midi: the “3 Écluses” cruise (duration 1h15), which takes you through the 3 locks in the town centre, or the “Riquet” cruise (duration 1h30), which takes you out of the town centre to Ramonville, in a more bucolic and leafy setting. From July to October, cruises are organised on the Garonne and the Canal de Brienne. This canal was once used to transport timber, Pyrenean marble and woad. With a breathtaking view of the Dôme de la Grave and the Pont Neuf, you can cruise this river rich in history.
