Welcome to the Albret Tourist Office

Thouars-sur-Garonne

The village developed around the ford that had allowed people to cross the Garonne River since time immemorial. There are traces dating back to the 13th century of a toll castle, of which only its reputation and a few written records remain today. This ford was part of the Ténarèze, a route linking Bordeaux to the Pyrénées-Orientales, and was therefore a very busy crossing point, both for trade and for invaders!
