The canal was built between 1680 and 1693. After its opening, ships could reach the Seine from the Loire via the Canal d'Orléans and the Canal du Loing and thus go directly to Paris. As the transport performance decreased more and more over the years, the canal was removed from the list of navigable waters in France in 1954 and sold by the state to the local authorities.
