Véloire, from Pouilly-sous-Charlieu to Iguerande

Highlight (Segment) • Other

La Véloire is a cycle route that runs along the Loire, a river that has remained mostly wild. In this green setting, travel safely away from cars and in the middle of nature.

Briennon marina

Highlight • Structure

The port of Briennon has been converted into a pretty marina. It is located on the Roanne to Digoin canal just a few hundred meters from the Loire.

Tip by

26.7 km

The Roanne to Digoin canal was built between 1830 and 1836 and extends for approximately 55 kilometres. Nicknamed the "quiet canal", it has remained wild and its banks are home to remarkable flora and fauna. A good part of the canal is bordered by a towpath, but this section of more than 5 kilometers south of Briennon rests on an asphalt cycle path in perfect condition.

View of Briennon Marina

Highlight • Viewpoint

From the avenue de Verdun which crosses the Roanne to Digoin canal, enjoy a beautiful view of the port of Briennon which was once an industrial site. Today, the port has been developed for yachting. It is located on the Roanne to Digoin canal, very close to the Loire.

Digoin Canal Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

The Digoin aqueduct is both a curiosity and a rarity. This 243-meter bridge allows barges to pass over the Loire River. It is also open to pedestrians and cyclists, who are asked to walk alongside their bicycles during the crossing. This remarkable structure was designed in the 1880s and 1890s. It allows the Loire Lateral Canal to connect with the Canal du Centre a little further downstream.

Canal Latéral à la Loire

Highlight • River

The Loire lateral canal is 196 kilometers long and allows, with other structures, the connection of the Rhône and the Seine. Thanks to it, the three largest rivers in France are thus connected.
