"Randonnée du Chasselas"

Autonomous Rowing Tour
45 km
AVIRON CLUB MOISSAC
River
Tarn et la Garonne
Du 26/09/2026 au 27/09/2026

Moissac is a major site of the Midi-Pyrénées region, which boasts a thousand-year-old history. This tour will include the unavoidable visit of the roman cloister and tympanum of the UNESCO classified Saint-Pierre abbey. You will navigate on the rivers Tarn and Garonne, discovering the « Ile des Oiseaux » natural preserve, for a quiet tour in the greenery, before joining Sainte Livrade on the next day. We will be pleased to have you enjoy the specialties of the region: the Chasselas table grapes (the first fruit that has been awarded an AOC appellation) and the Philibon melons, grown on the hillsides surrounding Moissac.
