Excellent bike stopover at Belleville-sur-Loire at Le Café Du Canal for a cup of coffee, or a drink, on the banks of the canal. Right next to it the Office de Tourismo with water point and basic bike tools and pump facility next to it.

Active port during the time of the Loire Navy, in the 18th and 19th centuries. Local production of rye, wine and wood was shipped there on barges. There are two paved slipways leading to the water, on a quay which is 1700m long. The submersible dike that we see across the river is called "la chevrette" and allowed boats to cross more easily.

Today a small village on the Loire; in the 18th century the flood of the Loire in 1707 destroyed the infrastructure of the town of Bonny. The “Grand Chemin” from Paris to Lyon now only serves Bourbonnais and Auvergne, taking away a large part of the city’s reception activity.

The Château de Saint-Vérain and the village were once one. The proximity of the Porte de Cosne suggests that Saint-Vérain was a castral village.

The Porte de Cosne was formerly known as the Porte du Vieux Château de Cosne. In the 9th century the village was surrounded by a wooded fortification until in the 12th century stone fortifications began to be built. Looking closely, one can see that the roof of the gate is exceptionally steep. The tower that originally existed was to be over 20 meters high and closed with heavy gates and a portcullis to prevent enemy attacks.
