Here, in case of flood, you hang your furniture on the ceiling, you moor your boat on the balconies and you let the fishes swim in your living room. Nothing unusual in the most charming village of our territory, whose unavoidable visit will surely make you too, true "Fous de Garonne".

When Garonne makes its show - video mapping :

Nature Hut: the natural ecosystem of the Garonne
The navigator Yves Parlier is the godfather of this room, all dressed in wood, where you can discover the fauna of the river in 3D projection. A show that highlights the insects, mammals and fish of the Garonne, hosts of an ecosystem of great richness and fragility.

Aquarium & touch pool :
Here we go, Garonne is at it again and the kitchen is under water. The fishes evolve between atypical reefs made of a table, a fridge and a television. An amazing aquarium, visible from the rue de La Cave, a stone's throw from the banks of the river.
