Paudais lock

Highlight • Other

It is nice to see that it is possible to carry out such renovations and continue to preserve the landscape and a culture.
It also shows that there is money here and that people have the opportunity to earn money.

Pretty Lock Gardens

Highlight • Structure

Whenever we drove through one of these "garden locks" that had been beautifully decorated, planted and the grass cut to golf course level, our hearts would melt.
The lock keeper's houses are almost always specially decorated.

Shelter With Roof by the Canal

Highlight • Rest Area

It's a shame the roof is broken.
But it's a great thing - there are a few on the canal.
Hopefully the roof will be repaired.

La Touche Lock

Beautiful lock. Number 15 from Nantes. On sunny days, you'll find a tavern there.

Here, the lock and the spillway are separated by an island, which adds to the charm of the place. Picnic table.

The bank formation looks special.
Aquatic plants grow like carpets on both sides.
