PK 3.538 - Ecluse de Bayard

In front of the station Toulouse Matabiau, Bayard Lock is a very urban lock in the heart of Toulouse. This is the lock of Toulouse par excellence. Previously very vegetal, this lock has been profoundly remade in 2013 commissioning work safety. If the vegetation was enjoyable, many degradations were held there, and the lock was an unpleasant crossing because of the dirt of places. In 2013 the municipality decided to regain control of the area around the lock. Less vegetation, but cleanable and enjoyable spaces for passersby.

From this you lock you have access to public transportation (bus, metro line A, train station), you are also within 10 minutes walk from the Place du Capitole, Toulouse town office and former palace of the Comte de Toulouse.

The arrival of the TGV in Toulouse in a few years should deeply transform the spaces around this lock.
