The Chapel of Sainte Marie, built in the first half of the 17th century, is the only remaining vestige of the former Visitation convent.

During the construction of the canals, which were a very important part of the transport infrastructure back then (in times long past), the major challenge was the (sometimes considerable) elevation differences that had to be overcome. In most cases, simple locks were built for this purpose, as here. In a few cases, however, another solution had to be found: a so-called "boat lift." Perhaps the most impressive example of the engineering skills of that time is located in the Belgian region of Hainaut; the facility there is even listed as an industrial monument on the UNESCO World Heritage List.

The starting point of the Loire cycle path is apparently so beautiful that there are two of them. However, if you look more closely at the location in the komoot system, the two points are a dozen kilometers apart. If you're interested, see also =>> https://www.komoot.com/de-de/highlight/556578

Very nice place on the lake. The restaurant Le Moulin on the lake is worth a visit.

The beautiful bridge leads over the Loire directly to Nevers.

Quiet, small town by the water

Pretty bridge in Nevers

The façade of this church, which cyclists encounter in the heart of Nevers, rises imposingly. Its construction history – the "Sainte-Marie" Chapel was built in the Baroque style – dates back to the first half of the 17th century. Back then, it didn't stand alone as it does today, but belonged to a convent of Visitandes, whose other buildings have been demolished over the course of history. "You can't enter the interior... but you will undoubtedly be captivated by the façade, which displays an astonishing Baroque style, unique in the Nivernais region and rare in France," states the tourist brochure.
