Bonny-sur-Loire Village Center

Highlight • Settlement

Today a small village on the Loire; in the 18th century the flood of the Loire in 1707 destroyed the infrastructure of the town of Bonny. The “Grand Chemin” from Paris to Lyon now only serves Bourbonnais and Auvergne, taking away a large part of the city’s reception activity.

Mantelot Lock

Highlight • Structure

It was at Mantelot that the boats left the lateral canal of the Loire and crossed the river in a channel more than a kilometer long to join the rest of the canal on the right bank.
This area therefore also served as a boat station.

Canal Latéral à la Loire

Highlight • River

Canal which connects Digoin to Briare, of a standard gauge called 'Freycinet', which was inaugurated in 1838. It contributes in particular to connecting the Loire to the Seine.
Before the construction of the Briare aqueduct, it was at Chatillon-sur-Loire that it had to cross the Loire between two dikes, directly in its bed.

Old port of Ousson

Highlight • River

Active port during the time of the Loire Navy, in the 18th and 19th centuries. Local production of rye, wine and wood was shipped there on barges. There are two paved slipways leading to the water, on a quay which is 1700m long.
The submersible dike that we see across the river is called "la chevrette" and allowed boats to cross more easily.
