Digoin's second curiosity

Translated by Google •

Tip by

1.67 km

The Digoin aqueduct is both a curiosity and a rarity. This 243-meter bridge allows barges to pass over the Loire River. It is also open to pedestrians and cyclists, who are asked to walk alongside their bicycles during the crossing. This remarkable structure was designed in the 1880s and 1890s. It allows the Loire Lateral Canal to connect with the Canal du Centre a little further downstream.

Canal Latéral à la Loire

Highlight • River

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.

At Diou, the Eurovelo 6 branches off from the Loire side canal and leads over the Loire Bridge of the D 480. From the bridge you have a good block onto the unregulated Loire 👆

September 9, 2025,🇫🇷Burgund: Kanalbrücke von Digoin – Loire-Seitenkanal EuroVelo 6

On Monday, the persistent rain forced us to take a break from cycling. But today, in bright sunshine, we were able to get back on the road. We cycled north along farm tracks and small back roads, through the rolling hills of the department, until we reconnected with EuroVelo 6 at Les Carrières. This famous long-distance cycle route runs 4,450 …
