Cycle path on old railway line

Rivers and canals crisscross the country, the latter in particular being a crucial part of the transport infrastructure in earlier times. Later, first rail, and later again trucks, took over the task of transporting goods. In the competition between different modes of transport, they were faster and cheaper than barges – and thus more efficient. When building the artificial waterways, however, it had to be taken into account that differences in elevation always had to be overcome, and so locks are often lined up along the canals – at varying intervals, depending on the local situation. Only with their help was shipping possible.

Very nice starting point to explore Nevers or Sancerre.

It's not an exceptional site but pretty all the same, however we were very disappointed by the rest of the route. The countryside is not great in this part of France, there are a lot of cars on the roads.

Beautiful town on the Way of St. James on the Loire

I enjoyed it, but I was equipped with a fat-tire electric bike. My photos give a glimpse of the route on the trails in good weather (May 2025).

There are medieval festivals in September.
