The Briare Canal is a shipping canal in the French regions of Centre-Val de Loire and Bourgogne-Franche-Comté. Together with the Loing Canal, the Lateral Canal à la Loire, and the Canal du Centre, it forms a chain of canals (the Bourbonnais Route) that served the Parisian waterways. Today, it allows inland waterway vessels and pleasure craft to cross from the Seine to the Saône and then via the Rhône to the Mediterranean.

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.

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.

Transition from canal to original river.

Arrival at Château Landon by a small bridge over which a small river flows.

Beautiful medieval city, I got lost in its alleys….
