Toulouse transport chiefs and partners are to introduce shuttles on the canals and rivers of the city on match days to the Stade Toulousain ground from August in a test. The aim is to show visitors to the rugby another image of the city. There will be a floating market on 20th June on the banks of the Garonne, when boats will also be tested on the route to the football stadium (which is actually on an island). The stadium will be used in the Euro 2016 football tournament next summer.
To further make use of the city's waterways there will be barges used to move rubbish from recycling centres and dechetteries, reducing the number of lorries on the roads in north Toulouse.
