The Barguelonne (in the upper reaches also: Grande Barguelonne ) is a river in France that runs in the Occitanie region . It rises in the municipality of Pern , generally drains south-west and flows 61 kilometers southwest of Valence , after crossing under the Canal latéral à la Garonne , at the municipal boundary of Golfech and Lamagistère , as a left tributary into the Garonne . This is also where the Canal de Golfech , a shortcut channel of the Garonne, flows into the Garonne again after it has supplied the nearby Golfech nuclear power plant with cooling water.

On its way, the Barguelonne touches the Lot and Tarn-et-Garonne departments .
