Unfortunately, there is no cycle path along the canal here yet. The path to the left before the bridge is a dead end.

This route was suggested in Komoot as a cycle path along the canal - but it is a dead end after the next lock.

*The church of Saint-Sulpice-et-Saint-Antoine1. In the cemetery, the tomb of the painter Maxime David. *War memorial. *The castle tower, near the multi-purpose hall, the only vestige of an old castle. *The forest. *The marshes, of a unique character in France: according to Natura 2000, this site is one of the richest and most diverse in the plains of Western Europe. Its exceptional character is reinforced by the variety of local climates (from boreal to hot mountain): even in summer, the temperature can be close to zero degrees. The floristic interest is great: an exceptional diversity linked to the presence of varied microclimates over a small area, with many protected species. From a faunal point of view, the site is home to many species of insects, birds, amphibians and reptiles.

The church has light walls and a dark roof. The interior is composed of white walls, pretty stained glass windows and a starry blue ceiling at the level of the heart. 3 bells exist and are functional. Nearby are some tombs, including that of the painter Maxime David.
