Along the river Garonne…
In the 13th C. the river Garonne used to flow close to the city of Grenade and it completed its fortifications. Today it flows eastwards. In Ondes the banks of the river are lined with woods that house many species.
The river Garonne used to provide builders with pebbles that were traditionally used together with red brick to build walls. Nowadays the banks of the river are lined with « ramier » the local name for poplar groves.
Along the river Save....
