Moissac, active city, enjoys an international reputation due to the abbey church of Saint-Pierre and its cloister, listed as World Heritage Site.

Founded in the 7th century, the abbey of Moissac was for centuries a considerable influence. It was and still is a major step on the road to St Jacques de Compostela.

Moissac welcomes the Garonne Canal, an extension of the Canal du Midi as far as Bordeaux. Open to pleasure craft, it crosses the Tarn at a canal-bridge: a remarkable structure that you can best appreciate from the saddle on bike ride along the Canal des Deux Mers Greenway.
