    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.

      Interesting place. The canal is fed from here.
