A bridge-canal linking the Canal à la Loire to the Canal de Briare, with an architectural curiosity that leaves no one indifferent.

The 662-meter-long Pont-Canal de Briare is a canal bridge carrying the Canal Latéral à la Loire over the Loire, a delicate royal river. Léonce-Abel Mazoyer (1848-1910) also worked on the surrounding architecture, transporting us to the famous Alexandre III bridge in Paris, with its columns at each end enriched by bronze sculptures in which dragons seem to carry levitating lampposts on the heads of obedient swans. A visit on foot or by boat is a must. Until 2003, it was the world's longest mechanical canal bridge. A wonderful memory!

Se balader sur le pont avec la lumière de fin de journée est un régal pour les yeux. Un conseil : arrêtez vous au café du pont pour acheter du chocolat !

Très joli Pont Canal qui enjambe la Loire. C'est un joli site qui permet de belles promenades et de belles photos, de jour comme de nuit! On peut continuer le long de la Loire, les berges ont été aménagées pour les piétons et vélos. On peut même rejoindre le circuit "La Loire à vélo"

Pont très original où le canal passe au-dessus de la Loire.
On peut voir des péniches traverser le pont.
Promenade aux alentours très agréable par beau temps.

dating back to 1880-96, this canal which runs above the Loire generates admiration for its developers who had to convince their political leaders to still engage in a heavy investment can running.
