Near this Bridge: *Why the km 96 marker in Orléans?* (Quai du Châtelet) The km 96 marker in Orléans *corresponds neither to the distance from the source nor from the mouth of the river. It is part of a **local marking system* related to river navigation and 19th-century cartography. These markers were used to: - *Measure navigable sections* between two ports or cities (e.g., Orléans-Blois, Orléans-Tours). - *Calculate transport tariffs* for goods, as was done by "water coach plates" (the fluvial equivalent of road markers for stagecoaches).

A place steeped in history, where the Tourelles fortress once stood, center of the English siege and surprisingly captured by Joan of Arc on 6 May 1429

Rivers and canals run through the country, and the latter were a very important part of the transport infrastructure in earlier times. When building artificial waterways, differences in height always had to be taken into account, and locks were often lined up along these structures. Shipping was only possible with their help. Later, first the railways and then again later the roads took over the task of transporting goods.
