The Loire lateral canal is 196 kilometers long and allows, with other structures, the connection of the Rhône and the Seine. Thanks to it, the three largest rivers in France are thus connected.

The Canal latéral à la Loire is a shipping canal that runs through the French regions of Bourgogne-Franche-Comté, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes and Centre-Val de Loire. Together with the canals Canal du Loing, Canal de Briare and Canal du Center, it forms a chain of canals (Route Bourbonnais), which enables barges and pleasure craft to cross from the Seine to the Saône and on to the Mediterranean. Its construction initially reduced the seasonally unsafe use of the parallel river Loire for shipping and ultimately made it completely unnecessary. (Source: Wikipedia)
