Briare Canal Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

Very pretty and passable without problem by bike (be careful). With a road bike, favor the downstream side (north west) because it has a paved track to join the road on the left bank.

Forest Path of the Loire à Vélo near Saint-Brisson-sur-Loire

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Shaded and calm path in the woods. It is not located in the immediate vicinity of the Loire but it does form part of the route of the Loire by bike cycle route. Although it is a path, it is passable even by road bike, unless the weather is wet.

Canal Latéral à la Loire

Highlight • River

The side canal of the Loire, built from 1822 to 1838, is bordered near Briare by a very pleasant towpath, both on foot and by bicycle.
The surroundings are very calm and wooded.

Châtillon-sur-Loire bridge

Highlight • Other

This suspension bridge is located halfway between the towns of Beaulieu-sur-Loire and Briare, and allows cars, cyclists and pedestrians to cross the Loire.

The bridge is located right in the middle of the Mantelot and Combles lock site. Before the construction of the Briare aqueduct, this passage allowed boats to pass between the old side canal, the Loire, and the old Briare canal.
