Châtillon-sur-Loire bridge

Highlight • Other

This suspension bridge is located halfway between the towns of Beaulieu-sur-Loire and Briare, and allows cars, cyclists and pedestrians to cross the Loire.

The bridge is located right in the middle of the Mantelot and Combles lock site. Before the construction of the Briare aqueduct, this passage allowed boats to pass between the old side canal, the Loire, and the old Briare canal.

Briare Canal Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

Very pretty and passable without problem by bike (be careful). With a road bike, favor the downstream side (north west) because it has a paved track to join the road on the left bank.
