A striking contrast in the quality of the road or the developments of the Briard Canal are painful to see compared to those of the Orléans Canal.

Magnificent section which runs along the Loing canal, alternating between shaded and open areas.

Works of art created at the initiative of the Maison de la forêt de Paucourt, notably highlighting bats and forest spirits.

Formerly two mills facing each other, the Vieux-Moulin on the left bank and the Moulin-Neuf on the right bank, the first probably dating from the 18th century. During the 20th century, the two-wheel buildings were replaced by the large central building which spans the Loing today.

Place where the three canals of Briare, Orléans and Loing meet, since 1724, the year the construction of the Loing ended. The house was that of the lock keeper and the lock controller, today the House of Nature and Water.

Ferrières-en-Gâtinais, located on the edge of the Gâtinais bocage, in the Cléry valley, is a city whose name evokes the presence of iron ore with mines that were exploited until the 18th century. This ore would be at the origin of the first development of the city during the Gallic period. However, it is the presence of a powerful abbey founded here by Clovis and placed under the direct authority of the Pope that made the site famous. At its height, in the Middle Ages, the monastery experienced immense spiritual influence, thanks to its scriptorium (copyists' workshop) and its trading post in the Bay of Canche, in Normandy, which enabled it to trade with the British Isles. Its area of influence extends for hundreds of kilometers and the abbey is home to many popes, kings and queens of France. During the Revolution, however, the monks were dispersed and monastic life died out. The buildings are sold as national assets and partly destroyed. The two churches, now classified as Historic Monuments, are saved by their assignment to parish worship. From this glorious past, Ferrières en Gâtinais retains many traces in the old historic town. Note the presence of a drinking water tap next to the creperie near the porch marking one of the entrances to the enclosure which once protected the abbey.
