All stages on Canal des 2 Mers by bike - Atlantic / Mediterranean sea
Agen / Valence d'Agen

Leave Agen’s port via a greenway. The way continues close to the Garonne, although the river is rarely visible from beside the canal. After Lamagistère, you enter Valence d’Agen, passing close to former abattoirs superbly converted into an information centre. The town was built as a fortified bastide in the 13th century. Admire its covered market, dovecotes, washhouses and port. Every summer, the show entitled Au Fil de l’Eau une Histoire revives the town’s important past as a port.

The "Pont-Canal" d'Agen
Avec ses 539 mètres de long et ses 23 arches en pierres de taille, le pont canal d'Agen est le deuxième pont-canal le plus long de France, après celui de Briare. Il permet au canal latéral à la Garonne d'accèder au centre-ville d'Agen, la célèbre capitale du pruneau qui vous dévoilera un patrimoine riche de 2000 ans d’histoire.
