  • Fiche Synoptique-GARONNE-En DEFINITIF
    Synopsis sheets Rivers of the World The Garonne and the Adour-Garonne basin The Garonne and the Adour-Garonne basin The Garonne is a French-Spanish river whose source lies in the central Spanish Pyrenees, in the Maladeta massif, at an altitude of 3,404 m. It flows for 50 km before crossing the border with France, through the Gorges du Pont-des-Rois in the Haute-Garonne department. After a distance of 525 km, it finally reaches the Atlantic Ocean via the Garonne estuary, where it merges with the river Dordogne. The Garonne is joined by many tributaries along its course, the most important of which are the Ariège, Save, Tarn, Aveyron, Gers, Lot, and others, and crosses regions with varied characteristics. The Garonne is the main river in the Adour-Garonne basin and France’s third largest river in terms of discharge. par A little history… A powerful river taking the form of a torrent in the Pyrenees, the Garonne’s hydrological regime is pluvionival, characterised by floods in spring and low flows in summer. It flows are strongly affected by the inflows of its tributaries subject to oceanic pluvial regimes. The variations of the Garonne’s discharges are therefore the result of these inputs of water, staggered as a function of geography and the seasons. In the past its violent floods have had dramatic impacts, such as that of 23 June 1875 at Toulouse, causing the death of 200 people, and that of 3 March 1930 which devastated Moissac, with around 120 deaths and 6,000 people made homeless.

Trois grandes vallées aux dessins variés irriguent son territoire : l’Aveyron, la Garonne et le Tarn. L’harmonie des transitions entre les unités paysagères, la variété des paysages, la qualité de vie qu’ils offrent au contact de la Garonne et à proximité d’une grande métropole régionale, donnent au territoire du Tarn-et-Garonne une attractivité résidentielle et touristique reconnue. Cette richesse se traduit par la présence de six sites classés et soixante cinq sites inscrits, pour la plupart regroupés au nord-est du département. Ces périmètres protégés au cours des décennies comportent peu de grands milieux naturels mais de multiples curiosités, édifices ou ensembles architecturaux et paysagers façonnés par l’homme. Intimiste ou solennel, chacun à sa manière suscite émotion, admiration ou curiosité. Depuis plus d’un siècle, l’Etat est garant du maintien de l’intérêt patrimonial de ces espaces remarquables au travers de la loi de protection des sites, intégrée désormais au code de l’environnement. Les transformations aujourd’hui rapides des modes d’occupation de l’espace doivent aiguiser notre vigilance.

  • BORDEAUX Cushman & Wakefield Global Cities Retail Guide
    BORDEAUX Cushman & Wakefield Global Cities Retail Guide Cushman & Wakefield | Bordeaux | 2019 0 Located in southwestern France, Bordeaux is the capital of the Nouvelle Aquitaine region and the country’s fifth largest metropolitan area, with more than 1,200,000 inhabitants. Totalling around 92,000 students, the city has a long tradition of teaching excellence, thus providing large tech and industrial groups a highly-qualified workforce. A European hub for aeronautics and space industries, Bordeaux is also considered the wine capital of the world, with the region boasting the most famous grape varieties including Merlot and Cabernet. In the nineties, the historic city centre of Bordeaux underwent a massive urban redevelopment project comprised of the creation of new tramway lines and the conversion of former industrial sites on the now ‘cleaned up’ waterfront. This large- scale project gave a boost to the city as a key tourist destination, also now listed a UNESCO world heritage site. Benefiting from its local residents’ high purchasing power, Bordeaux’s prime retail scene is mainly located in the vast pedestrian area located on the left bank of the Garonne River and hosts a wide range of retailers. Rue Sainte-Catherine and Rue de la Porte Dijeaux are the main hubs for middle- range players in the fashion sector, whereas Cours de l’Intendance is a key destination for upper-range retailers. While prime opportunities in the city centre of Bordeaux are traditionally scarce, it hosts two major shopping centres downtown: Meriadeck (Auchan hypermarket) and the Promenade Sainte-Catherine, providing international retailers with quality space so as to expand their French retail network (e.g.

  • How the British Have Made Southwest France Their Home the Local [email protected] @Thelocalfrance
    How the British have made southwest France their home The Local [email protected] @thelocalfrance 6 October 2017 08:26 CEST+02:00 brits in france Share this article Photo: AFP The Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of western and southwest France is home to the most Brits of all France's regions. Here’s a breakdown of how they have made the region, or at least part of it, their home. Nouvelle-Aquitaine was recently formed when the government redrew the administrative map of France, bringing together the old regions of Aquitaine, Poitou- Charentes and Limousin. The super-region stretches from the Spanish border in the southwest up the Atlantic coast to La Rochelle and deep into central France to take in the departments of Correze and Creuse. It includes departments,that have long been associated with migrating British citizens, such as Dordogne (Dordogneshire to many), and Charente. The Numbers: There are some 39,000 British citizens living in the giant Nouvelle-Aquitaine region, a new report from French statistics agency INSEE reveals. That represents 0.7 percent of the region's overall population and means that after the Portuguese, Brits represent the second biggest community of foreigners. Those 39,000 represent 26 percent of the 150,000 Brits officially registered as living in France. That makes Nouvelle-Aquitaine the region of France that is home to the most Brits. In second place is neighbouring Occitanie, which is home to 25,500 Brits, and in third place is the greater Paris region of Ile-de-France where 19,500 Brits have set up home.
