The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Ces chantiers navals sont les derniers restants des six que comptait la commune en 1874. Repris en 1837 par Pierre Tramasset, ils se composent d'un petit chantier destiné à la construction des bateaux en bois, et d'un grand chantier pour la réparation des bateaux plus importants. Ces deux éléments sont reliés à la Garonne par des cales munies de rails permettant de hisser les bateaux. A cet ensemble s'ajoute une étuve pour le cintrage des bois. Une scierie est installée vers 1900, puis l'usine est électrifiée. Les chantiers ont cessé leur activité en 1983.

These shipyards are the last remaining of the six that the commune had in 1874. Taken over in 1837 by Pierre Tramasset, they consist of a small shipyard intended for the construction of wooden boats, and a large shipyard for the repair of larger boats. These two elements are connected to the Garonne by slipways fitted with rails allowing boats to be hauled. To this complex is added a stove for bending wood. A sawmill was installed around 1900, then the factory was electrified. The shipyards ceased operations in 1983.
