The route branches off before you reach this lock, but you can also continue along the road to the lock and then take the bridge over the canal to Chalons-sur-Champagne.

Excellent cycle path along the canal. No crowds, so you can cycle side by side for extended periods without any problems.

Impressive – here is the intersection of two canals. The ship just came out of the Risseau d'Isse, and it's certainly not a small freighter.
