Fantastic area for cycling, with the highlight being the aqueduct over the Loire at Briare

It is presumably a former "chemin de halage" (in German "treidelpfad" or "leinpfad"), which runs alongside the canal's bed. In earlier times, such a path was an essential part of the transport infrastructure. Before ships could be powered by motors, horses walked along the bank, pulling the boat against the current. This was called "treideln" (pulling), and this is how the towpaths got their name, which has been passed down to this day. Where these paths, which run close to the bank, have been preserved, they are popular with hikers, walkers, joggers, and cyclists.

Ideal for a short detour during a trip along the Loire. A friendly little village, especially if you want to taste wine: the choice is very wide and the quality is there.

Unfortunately not open to visitors...would require emergency safeguard measures

The trip along the canal is a meditation - at least as relaxing as one.

A small and beautiful place in France. Always worth a visit.

A great place to stop for a picnic or to take a break.
