2.Lock no 49 at Fontet

The Canal de Garonne (or canal lateral to the Garonne) is a navigable canal in the south of France which links Toulouse to Castets-en-Dorthe near Bordeaux. The work carried out under the supervision of Jean-Baptiste de Baudre in the nineteenth century includes many works including locks essential to the passage from reach to reach and canal bridges, two of which are among the largest in France.

3.Museum of Matches and Crafts

The Fontet museum reflects the inhabitants of its territory: artistic talents, various old and current know-how.

Museum volunteers have endeavored to showcase them through thematic exhibitions. They will happily guide you without being stingy with great stories and anecdotes during the visit.

Most of the space is given to unique works produced by an enthusiast of matchstick construction.

30 years that Gérard Gergerès cuts, deforms, glues these small pieces of poplar of a few centimeters to patiently build monuments, flowers, animals ...

Reproductions to scale but gigantic for some which reveal the talent of a true artist.

The museum also integrates, with great pleasure, many tools used in our countryside not so long ago and yet already fallen into disuse. With a very regional bias, our museum also integrates the works of local artists: sculptures, paintings, mosaics, etc. There are also some collections that you will discover on this site.

Our museum remains very humble in front of the monuments of Culture that we find in the cities and which are fortunately within the reach of the greatest number. However, we must keep in less mundane places the soul of those who one day built and fed cities: the peasants.

4.The canal of the two seas

The canal des deux mers, also called the lateral canal to the Garonne, links Toulouse to Bordeaux. Built at the beginning of the 19th century, it was ultimately used very little for the transport of goods because the railway very quickly competed with it. It is now used by boaters.

The work covers 193 km. It is 18 m wide, 2 m deep, with a drop of 128 m. It has 53 locks. In Toulouse, it connects with the Canal du Midi.

In recent years, a cycle path has been built along the Canal: the green way.

VI.History

Fontet is a town in the southwest of France, located in the department of Gironde, in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region.

The town of Fontet is located southwest (left bank) of the Garonne, 64 km south-east of Bordeaux, capital of the department, 19 km east of Langon, capital of the arrondissement , and 4 km south of La Réole.

The name of Fontet means "small fountain". The town indeed has a large number of water sources. The name of the town is Hontet in Gascon.

The original village of Fontet, was to be located on a feudal motte, in the current hamlet of Tartifume, north-east of the current village. It was mentioned in 1500. This feudal motte was located overhanging a bend in the Garonne. This natural elevation was part of the defensive ensemble of La Réole, with the Quat’Sos castle, the Castéra (motte to the south of the village) and the Blaignac charterhouse. Of this defensive situation, only ruins of walls and ditches remain today. From the medieval village, the architectural heritage of the church and some vestiges of the castle of Tartifume remain. A suspension bridge on the side canal of the Garonne is called the Tartifume suspension bridge, it is located just next to lock no 48. In the Middle Ages, pilgrims on their way to Saint-Jacques-de-Compostelle crossed the Garonne at ford of Tartifume. The Benedictines had the right to take the ferry at this location.

During the Revolution, the parish of Saint-Front de Fontet formed the municipality of Fontet.
