Bases at Agen and Valance sur Baise : Canal de le Garonne, river Baise and Lot

Gascony boasts some of France's prettiest countryside.
A number of interesting structures command attention too, such as the 549-metre long aqueduct at Agen with its 23 arches.
The canal between Montech and Montauban reopened in April 2003, allowing you to visit Montauban by Pénichette.
Visit the famous 11th-century abbey at Moissac for an insight into the Middle Ages.
Take the little river Baise and you will wind your way through the deepest countryside.
Its towns, Vianne and Nerac, possess all the charm of a medieval Book of Hours.
Carry on up the Baise as far as Valence and visit the Abbey of Flaran, rated a masterpiece of Cistercian art.
