Canal d'Orléans Greenway

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Wonderful stretch along the Canal d’Orléans. The path is not very wide (approx. 40 cm) but is easy to drive with an average speed of approx. 15 km / h. The landscape is super beautiful. No people on the way.

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!

Vitry-aux-Loges was for a long time a royal residence, its castle welcoming the kings who came to hunt in the forest of Orléans already before the year one thousand. Time did its work and after a fire and then a storm, this castle was finally destroyed in 1767.
From the 15th century, several lordly residences made of bricks were built around the remains of the royal castle and the castle of Plessis: the castle of La Motte, surrounded by water moats, the castle of Vaux and that of Jarnonces which has now disappeared.


The construction of the canal and the arrival of the train would subsequently revitalize Vitry-aux-Loges.
Note that the town is now located in a Natura 2000 zone.
