Wonderful stretch along the Canal d’Orléans. The path is not very wide (approx. 40 cm) but is easy to drive with an average speed of approx. 15 km / h. The landscape is super beautiful. No people on the way.

Orleans Canal Greenway

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

This greenway follows the canal from Orléans to Montargis, passing through forests, ponds and farmland. You can enjoy water views, wildlife and historic locks along the way. The route is largely flat and shaded, making it suitable for all levels of cycling. The total distance is 85 kilometres, but this shorter section allows you to discover the canal and the surrounding countryside.

Canal d'Orléans in Combleux

Highlight • River

The canal was built between 1680 and 1693. After its opening, ships could reach the Seine from the Loire via the Canal d'Orléans and the Canal du Loing and thus go directly to Paris. As the transport performance decreased more and more over the years, the canal was removed from the list of navigable waters in France in 1954 and sold by the state to the local authorities. The current owner, the General Council of the Loiret department, is working on the restoration of the canal and intends to reopen it for water tourism with pleasure boats and houseboats. The Association pour la Navigation du Canal d'Orléans (ANCO) was founded with this objective. On the Loire side, expansion to Grignon has been completed.

Canal of Orléans

Highlight • River

I cycled from Orleans towards Nevers, a really great route. With a cycling map you can get around very well, wonderful routes and well signposted. Camping is possible almost everywhere.
