Canal latéral à la Loire

If the Loire is a must for cycle tourism, we must not forget its lateral canal, which offers a more isolated setting. 196 kilometers long, it is perfectly equipped for bicycles on this section.

Boisrond Lock

Highlight • Structure

The Boisrond lock in Bannay was built in 1838, at the same time as the Loire Lateral Canal. It was accompanied by the original lock house, which housed the lock keeper and his family. The locks are manually operated by the boaters themselves using a crank handle.

Saint-Julien de Bannay church

Highlight • Historical Site

This church has two unusual towers built in 1781 which complement the choir rebuilt 300 years earlier after the Wars of Religion. Recent restorations have saved this beautiful work from ruin.
