The Loire lateral canal is 196 kilometers long and allows, with other structures, the connection of the Rhône and the Seine. Thanks to it, the three largest rivers in France are thus connected.

Loire Canal Path

Highlight • Cycleway

A nice road that runs along the canal. It's pretty quiet and mostly straight so you can go pretty fast.

The canal is a water bridge over the Loire. The structure is fascinating because of its rarity. At the same time, it is a pedestrian and cyclist crossing that offers a beautiful view.

Digoin Canal Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

The Digoin aqueduct is both a curiosity and a rarity. This 243-meter bridge allows barges to pass over the Loire River. It is also open to pedestrians and cyclists, who are asked to walk alongside their bicycles during the crossing. This remarkable structure was designed in the 1880s and 1890s. It allows the Loire Lateral Canal to connect with the Canal du Centre a little further downstream.
