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

Very nice bridge. Decent bike crossing with a cycle lane on either side of the road, but shared with cars.

Worth the detour!

Small village with a bar/small restaurant on the waterfront in season

This bridge is impressive - even with a bike lane! The bridge is uphill until the middle, then downhill!

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.

The Pont Canal de Saint-Firmin-sur-Loire, built between 1891 and 1896 by the engineers Sigault and Mazoyer, allows the side canal to the Loire to cross the RD 951. It is located 180 meters from the canal bridge of Briare. The work consists of an arch 7 m wide and 4.83 m high under closure. The arch consists of a horizontal elliptical vault of 10.70 m. framed by two oblique and flared vaults of 7.2 m. for a total length of 25.10 m. The arch is equipped with a pair of inverted guard doors at each of its heads. These doors are closed when the flood waters of the Loire threaten to enter the village of Saint-Firmin-sur-Loire.
