The house of Garonne welcomes you to discover the cultural and natural heritage of the Garonne. Housed in an old watchtower from the 14th century, the Maison de Garonne hosts a scenography recalling the link between the river and men, the history of Boé and the Agen Garonne, and the biodiversity that the Garonne shelters. From its top floor, the site also offers a panoramic view of the surrounding landscapes. The visit can be completed with the educational trail near the site and partly along the Garonne.
