Very beautiful canal bridge, but I am no expert on canal bridges.

Worth the detour!

romantic place to rest

This historic canal lock is located on the Loire River. The facility was formerly used to lock barges from the Loire Lateral Canal through the Loire to the Canal de Briare and vice versa. A towpath was built on a river island in the Loire River to allow towing from the Loire and across to the other side of the river. Since this type of Loire crossing depended on the water level of the Loire and its meandering course, the new Briare Canal Bridge was later built. The historic river locks at Mantelot and Combles thus became obsolete.

we rode over it with our bikes and had a great view of the Loire and Chalon

This is a really great building - apart from the dog poop on the seats - beautiful. And I agree with Hendrik - it's a shame there is no café here.

This magnificent church in Briare was dedicated to the patronage of "Saint-ETIENNE". He was one of the first seven deacons of the original Jerusalem community and, according to the biblical accounts in the "New Testament", was also the first martyr (martyr) of early Christianity. The church commemorates his death on the second day of Christmas, December 26th. As the Acts of the Apostles report: When Stephen expressed his vision of the open heavens, "But he, filled with the Holy Spirit, looked up into heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God" (Chapter 7, Verse 55), the people were so outraged that they drove him out of the city and stoned him.

This Roman-Byzantine style church was inaugurated in 1895. It was built with the help of workers from the Briare earthenware factory who were inspired by Saint Sophia of Constantinople. It has the Romanesque dome and vault. And the earthenware tiles that pave the floors deserve attention.
