Moulin-Rouge Lock

Highlight • Monument

The Canal d'Orléans is an old waterway that connects the Loire to the Canal du Loing and the Canal de Briare. Over its 78 kilometer length, the canal comprises 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 lock of Combreux and, downstream, by the lock of Moulin-Rouge.

The lock is no longer functional, but that does not detract from the charm of the place!

Mardie

Highlight • Other

Between the Loire and the forest, the commune of Mardié is part of the Métropole Orléans Val de Loire, forming its eastern entrance, 12 km from the center of Orléans. With a long history largely marked by viticulture, part of its territory belongs to the Loire Valley section classified as a UNESCO World Heritage site.

Quite vast, the commune has an area of 17.3 km² and stretches for about 12 km from Northwest to Southeast with a width of only 4 to 5 km. The relief is marked only by the slopes that delimit the valleys of the Loire and the river Cens, doubled by the Canal d'Orléans. The altitude is between 100 and 120 m.

The landscapes are varied and have a lot of character. "Natural" landscapes with the banks of the Loire, the canal and the Cens valley, vast cultivated areas and very extensive woods. Inhabited landscapes with the town center, clustered around a beautiful Romanesque church, a lively district in Pont-aux-Moines with its small shops, very green and airy residential areas, some important hamlets that have retained traditional rural housing mixed with more recent constructions.

The commune benefits from the main services and shops, and is well served by public transport to Orléans. Despite demographic growth, which remains controlled (just under 3000 inhabitants), it has retained a fairly marked rural character and remains, in many respects, a village where life is good.

Canal d'Orléans

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

This shaded path runs along the banks of the canal and offers a pleasant walk through bucolic landscapes, typical of the region. Lined with poplars and willows, the path reveals superb views of the canal, its historic locks, and the surrounding fields.
