Referencing architecture specific to the history of the Garonne river basin, Le Carrelet and Le Moulin à Nef will house forums and workshops. An invitation to gather together and reflect, collectively and festively, on our relationship to the rivers that pass through our cities and, more broadly, on our forms of collaboration with the living world.

Carrelets are small structures near rivers, several examples of which are still to be found in the Garonne estuary. Mounted on a platform raised from the ground, a carrelet is a fishing net stretched across a rectangular frame. These constructions, which proliferated in the years after paid vacation became law in 1936, provided people with an extra source of food.

The Carrelet de la Garonne will remain in Château d'Eau gardens until August 24 before moving to Médiathèque José Cabanis.
