Portet-sur-Garonne is a commune in the Haute-Garonne department in southwestern France. Located on the banks of the Garonne River, it is about fifteen kilometres from Toulouse and is a picturesque town with many notable attractions.

The Church of Notre Dame de Valere, built in 1867, has become one of Portet-sur-Garonne's most prominent landmarks, featuring neo Gothic and Romanesque architecture.
