Road cycling
The bridge of the Champs-Neufs lock (in Frossay) is distinguished by its riveted metal mesh railings and its wooden deck.
Designed during the creation of the Canal de la Martinière (late 1880s / early 1890s), this structure is in the pure tradition of the wrought iron and riveted constructions popularized by the Eiffel workshops at that time. It is directly connected to the famous stone building of the Champs-Neufs machinery right next door, which housed the canal's water supply pumps.
It is a very popular and particularly photogenic passage for all cyclists and hikers who tread the canal banks!
