From Castets-en-Dorthe to Bec d'Ambès

The Garonne as far as Castets-en-Dorthe, then its lateral canal, connects Bordeaux to Toulouse. The river is tidal and several small towns are equipped with stopover pontoons. Broad-section commercial traffic still continues as far as Langon, in particular thanks to the transport of sections of the Airbus A380.
