I was always fascinated by the green colour of the slate, which was chosen here as fine gravel for the road surfaces

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

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

Very pleasant passage along the canal from Nantes to Best. Track well laid out and practicable by all.

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

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.

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.
