Canal Latéral à la Loire

Tip by

15.7 km

This stone bridge, whose construction began in 1767, spans the Loire River south of Nevers. Whatever the season, it's always a pleasure to admire the river from this bridge. Although many cars use this Loire bridge, a cycle path allows for safe cycling.

Lorrains Lock

Highlight • Monument

The Lorrains lock was supplied with water from a water intake located in the Allier. A channel overlooking the river allowed flat-bottomed boats to enter the lock. In 1872, a dam was built on the Allier opposite the lock to compensate for the constant erosion of the river. This finally got the better of the work of men. At the beginning of the 20th century, the drop in the level of the Allier made the lock unusable.

Apremont-sur-Allier

Highlight • Settlement

Entering Apremont-sur-Allier via this section plunges you into the heart of a splendid authentic village. The village castle welcomes you for visits to its gardens. The castle unfortunately cannot be visited.

A varied first stage, along the canal on cycle paths, small roads in the forest, or in the middle of fields, the canal bridge over the Allier, the magnificent Apremont sur Allier (but avoid it on the day of the flower festival otherwise there will be crowds), the Halles de Grossouvre. The Hôtel du Pont Neuf at the finish line, …
