Magné metal drawbridge

Highlight • Bridge

This attractive metal structure bridge dates from 1901. It rises so as to let the boats pass which, in the past, took the river to Marans to transport foodstuffs.

Wonderful!!! One of the most beautiful routes I've ever driven. Along the Sevre small houses with gardens in bloom, trees, varied landscapes. Then more and more canals from the Marais with punts, reminiscent of the Spreewald. Just great, despite the often noticeable headwind 🚴‍♀️
