Briare canal bridge

Highlight • Bridge

The Briare canal bridge is the oldest canal in France. It was built between 1890 and 1896 by the Eiffel company in order to pass the Briare canal over the Loire.

An impressive building, the Briare canal bridge is over 600 meters long and 11.5 meters wide and hangs 11 meters above the Loire.

Rogny – The Seven Locks

Highlight • Bridge

The seven locks are such a monument that the city was officially named after them in 1978. Why all the effort to lower the canal to such a level? The answer is Henry IV's monumental project to link the English Channel to the Mediterranean Sea. This lock is part of the Briare canal which connects the Loire and the Seine.

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.
