The Gabare Garonne Valley
The Gabare Garonne Valley is a newly built passengers’ boat inspired by the barges and other "sapines" (small wooden barge dedicated to sand transport) which used to cross rivers and channels. It offers a capacity of 75 seats and is the ideal way to go and discover the Garonne River with absolute peace of mind.
Discover without further delay the programme of exceptional opportunities we thought up for you. We shall answer all your questions in order to fashion your coming together, in best conditions.
Accompanied by the cheerful team of Sylvie, Jean-Pierre and Stéphanie Szpala, come and relax on a trip down the river and learn about the history of the Garonne Canal and its locks, on board a fully equipped barge (wash-rooms, air-conditioning, heating, drinks).
Do not miss the program of specially designed trips that are guaranteed to offer some unforgettable moments. We are available to answer any questions and help you to prepare your trip.
