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.

June 5, 2022,6.) Nevers-Gien

Very exhausting, a lot of headwind. Acquaintance with Len from Colorado, who is on his way to the Black Sea.

July 27, 2024,Quer durch Frankreich 7: Nevers - Gien

I hadn't slept well the last two nights. The bad omen was that the landlord didn't hear the doorbell (which was broken, as he later told me) or the phone. At least he read my message after 20 minutes and then opened the door for me. Unfortunately... I would have gone looking for other accommodation after 1 hour.
