In the heart of the Orléans forest is the Château de Charbonnière. This castle belongs to the city of Orléans and dates from the 16th century. You can admire its imposing facade and one of its four elegant turrets, as well as a bread oven in front of the building. The castle can be rented for various events, but you can also enjoy its vast 150-hectare park, where you can run, walk, cycle or picnic. The castle is open every day from 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.

Moulin-Rouge Lock

Highlight • Monument

The Canal d'Orléans is an old waterway that connects the Loire to the Canal du Loing and the Canal de Briare. Over its 78 kilometer length, the canal comprises a total of 26 reaches (portions of a canal between two locks) and 29 locks.

The Moulin-Rouge reach is 1,500 meters long. It is bordered upstream by the lock of Combreux and, downstream, by the lock of Moulin-Rouge.

The lock is no longer functional, but that does not detract from the charm of the place!

April 26, 2025,Rand'Ormoise Gravel (2024) ˗ˏˋ ★★★★★ ˎˊ˗

Very nice gravel trail, lots of very pleasant "gravel" sections. A little damp in places. The middle of the trail is a little more rolling (from Loury) but we find some nice gravel again from Chanteau. Some nice single tracks at the end. Route suitable for a departure from Orléans (the original route starts from Ormes)
