Le Passage is the starting point of the 7.7-kilometre route “Le pont-canal, boulevard de l'eau”, which initially follows the Canal de Garonne and then crosses the Garonne twice: once via the Pont-Canal and once via the Passerelle suspendue.
For Le Passage, my personal accommodation preference is: rent a holiday apartment and discover local markets.
On the Way
The Pont-Canal itself has 23 stone arches and is 580 metres long.
Culture
The Eglise Sainte-Jehanne de France was blessed and opened for worship in May 1965. The contemporary building is constructed of reinforced concrete and stone.
The Cathédrale Saint-Caprais church is located near Le Passage. In the wider surrounding region are the ruins of the Abbaye de Pérignac. The Archives départementales du Lot-et-Garonne archive is located in the immediate vicinity of Le Passage.
Nature
The Arboretum du Passage d'Agen is designed as an educational park and can be visited year-round by prior reservation at the Hippodrome.
The Maison de la Pêche et de la Nature du Pays de l'Agenais offers children and adults group workshops on learning various recreational fishing techniques, as well as on understanding aquatic habitats and the fish that live there.
