The 21 gates on the Hydroelectric Plant EDF Bazacle been reopened in recent days. After a year of work, the water of the Garonne river rushes back into the basin. In the jargon, is called the basin loading. The huge tank was completely drained during the restoration of the old mill Bazacle. This place full of history (eleventh century) will host the hydroelectric plant in 1888 with the Company Toulouse electricity. Watts kg, then feed the lighting of Toulouse and the tram is now back in fashion in the Pink City. The plant operated at its regime, that is to say, with seven turbines that brew water very slowly..

Anyway, in the engine room, the power is better, in contact with a guide. The idea is light and air. Now the heart of the factory will be open to the public, and is visiting for the first time at Heritage Days in mid-September. Near Space Bazacle (the showroom known Toulouse), generators of cast iron have increased in value, and are plump and beautiful, the sculptures Toutain. Recently, a squad of maids has tracked the dust in every corner, before restarting.

Already, the change is obvious residents or walkers. The Bazacle regained its luster, at the foot of the road. Among the new terrace and the new stairs do not go unnoticed, facing river. That is where we access the engine room, and we admire the views of the La Grave Hospital, another witness Heritage Toulouse changing.
