A popular place to take a break. You will appreciate the atmosphere under the trees in the immediate vicinity of the lock. An astonishing place.

A picturesque village between the Orleans Canal and the Loire, Combleux was once a transit port when the Loire navy was expanding.

Traces of the old port activities are still visible: the bargemen's houses, the canal controller's house, and the lock keeper's house.

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.

Canal d'Orléans in Combleux

Highlight • River

The canal was built between 1680 and 1693. After its opening, ships could reach the Seine from the Loire via the Canal d'Orléans and the Canal du Loing and thus go directly to Paris. As the transport performance decreased more and more over the years, the canal was removed from the list of navigable waters in France in 1954 and sold by the state to the local authorities. The current owner, the General Council of the Loiret department, is working on the restoration of the canal and intends to reopen it for water tourism with pleasure boats and houseboats. The Association pour la Navigation du Canal d'Orléans (ANCO) was founded with this objective. On the Loire side, expansion to Grignon has been completed.
