    The Crainseny viaduct, 246 m long, with a curve radius of 400 m, 16 arches and an opening of 12 m, is undoubtedly the most imposing structure on the South Chalonnaise Coast. The old railway line crossed it and the viaduct linked St-Gengoux to Montchanin crossing the Crainseny valley until 1969. Built in 1882, its height is approximately 23 m.

    A very beautiful piece of work, a testament to the local railway era.

    The Crainseny Viaduct (French: Viaduc de Crainseny) is a historic railway bridge in the south of the Côte Chalonnaise region. The viaduct was built in 1882. It has a total length of 246 meters, spans the valley at a height of around 23 meters, and features a distinctive curve with a radius of 400 meters. The masonry bridge consists of 16 elegant round arches, each with a span of 12 meters.

    Originally, the railway ran here on the Étiveau-Montchanin line, connecting the towns of Saint-Gengoux-le-National and Montchanin. Train services were discontinued in 1969.
