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!

Super canal bridge that crosses the Loire, what left it in this moment. All that is worth a look.
wonderful bridge canal. It should be seen early in the morning to take photos without person at sunset: the colours of the Loire are then attractive
an exceptional site, this bridge canal crosses the Loire, offering a magnificent panorama
