Sully-la-Chapelle is a town of almost 500 inhabitants located in the heart of the forest of Orléans, on the banks of the Cens l'Oeuf. Located on the GR 32, the town has a pretty inn, the Cheval Blanc, which offers a nice stopover before joining the Loire.

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!
