Paudais lock

Highlight • Other

It is nice to see that it is possible to carry out such renovations and continue to preserve the landscape and a culture.
It also shows that there is money here and that people have the opportunity to earn money.

Pretty Lock Gardens

Highlight • Structure

Whenever we drove through one of these "garden locks" that had been beautifully decorated, planted and the grass cut to golf course level, our hearts would melt.
The lock keeper's houses are almost always specially decorated.

Barel Lock

14th lock from Nantes. This one is separated from the spillway by an island. There's also a beautiful stone bridge.

Shelter With Roof by the Canal

Highlight • Rest Area

It's a shame the roof is broken.
But it's a great thing - there are a few on the canal.
Hopefully the roof will be repaired.
