The Orléans Canal is an old waterway which connects the Loire to the Loing Canal and the Briare Canal. Over its length of 78 kilometers, the canal includes a total of 26 reaches (portions of a canal between two locks) and 29 locks. The Moulin-Rouge reach is 1,500 meters long. It is bordered upstream by the Combreux lock and, downstream, by the Moulin-Rouge lock. The lock is no longer functional, but that does not detract from the charm of the place!
