The Étang de la Vallée leisure centre is a veritable green setting, ideal for a day outdoors.

Grignon

Highlight • Settlement

Grignon is a little gem nestled in the heart of Loiret, near the Canal d’Orléans. This quiet village is home to the Auberge des 3 Écluses, a charming place where gourmets can enjoy authentic local cuisine. While strolling around the area, you will discover the Belle de Grignon, a replica of a Berry flute that brings the canal’s maritime past to life. This barge, built in oak by volunteers, offers walks and allows you to discover the region’s peaceful landscapes.

Grignon Locks and the Lockkeeper's House

Highlight • Monument

This site is most characteristic of the Orléans Canal, which was once a vital waterway for transporting timber and other materials from the Orléans Forest to Paris. You can admire the three old locks and their lock house, which date from the 18th and 19th centuries. You can also see the small forge, built in 1821, which has a charming facade with a circular window. The site also includes a garden with remains of the original ponds. You can enjoy peaceful water and forest views, and perhaps spot the Belle de Grignon, a replica of a 19th century barge that was built by local enthusiasts. The Grignon site is an ideal place to discover the heritage and natural riches of the Loiret.

Choiseau lock

Highlight • Structure

Lock built in 1690, now listed as a Historic Monument and which regained its former appearance in 2022 with the installation of new solid oak doors, following two successive reconstructions of the upstream and downstream heads during the 19th century.

Good morning,
I'm looking for an idea for a hike of around 2/3 hours around the Combreux leisure center. Back and forth, before picnic. Thanks in advance. Sincerely.
