The narrowboat Tourmente is stopping off at Bordeaux from 8th to 13th September 2020 at the ‘Ponton d’Honneur’ jetty on Quai Richelieu as part of its 8th ‘Entre Deux Mers Voyage 2020’, featuring local produce, two exhibitions, innovative projects, art and history.
The Tourmente and its crew navigate the canals of Le Midi, the Rhône basin and the Saône, meeting locals along the way with the aim of educating the general pubic, businesses and elected officials about the river world.
From August 18th onwards, the Entre Deux Mers Voyage will take in 12 ports, including Bordeaux, Sète, Lyon and Saint-Jean-de-Losne. Since 2011, this operation has been crossing regions irrigated by waterways. Each time the Tourmente drops anchor, the hold of this historic narrowboat from the Midi Canal (1934) is opened up to the public, filled with various propositions.
Free entry, 10am to 7pm
