Bonny-sur-Loire Village Center

Highlight • Settlement

Today a small village on the Loire; in the 18th century the flood of the Loire in 1707 destroyed the infrastructure of the town of Bonny. The “Grand Chemin” from Paris to Lyon now only serves Bourbonnais and Auvergne, taking away a large part of the city’s reception activity.

Old port of Ousson

Highlight • River

Active port during the time of the Loire Navy, in the 18th and 19th centuries. Local production of rye, wine and wood was shipped there on barges. There are two paved slipways leading to the water, on a quay which is 1700m long.
The submersible dike that we see across the river is called "la chevrette" and allowed boats to cross more easily.

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.

View of Gien

Highlight • Other

Small town at the gates of Sologne, whose silhouette can be admired from the Loire by bike route. It is worth a detour by crossing the bridge to go through the alleys and climb up to the promontory of the castle.

Old Bridge of Gien

Highlight • Bridge

From the old bridge of Gien, the view of the city is unstoppable. In summer, the sunsets paint the banks of the Loire in generous colours.

A beautiful Roman-Byzantine style church which can be visited all year round. To discover if you pass through Briare to admire its mosaics!
