Sports and leisure activities Briare

The Aéroclub du Giennois is a leisure center offering aerial activities for aviation enthusiasts. Visitors can also take advantage of the aerodrome to watch planes take off and land.

This easy itinerary along the Loire allows you to cover the 14 km between Briare and Gien in just 1 hour. You start by crossing the Loire and the Canal Latéral on the Briare canal bridge. You'll then pass through the villages of Saint-Firmin-sur-Loire and Saint-Brisson-sur-Loire, where you can stop to visit its ^12th-century château. All that remains is to cross Saint-Martin-sur-Ocre before arriving in Gien and its medieval castle.

What could be better than discovering Briare and the surrounding region by river? Spend 1 day, 1 weekend, or even 1, 2 or 3 weeks floating along in complete relaxation aboard an unlicensed houseboat. From the Pont-Canal, join the Canal Latéral à la Loire with a detour to Sancerre, where from its peak you can gaze in wonder at this beautiful wine-growing region. And let's not forget a must-do proposition: "36 km - 36 locks in 12 hours Briare/Rogny-les-Sept-Écluses A-R"... representing the 36 candles of river navigation on a boat as desired!
