The Briare Canal is a shipping canal in the French regions of Centre-Val de Loire and Bourgogne-Franche-Comté. Together with the Loing Canal, the Lateral Canal à la Loire, and the Canal du Centre, it forms a chain of canals (the Bourbonnais Route) that served the Parisian waterways. Today, it allows inland waterway vessels and pleasure craft to cross from the Seine to the Saône and then via the Rhône to the Mediterranean.

Grignon

Highlight • Settlement

Grignon is a little gem nestled in the heart of Loiret, near the Canal d’Orléans. This quiet village is home to the Auberge des 3 Écluses, a charming place where gourmets can enjoy authentic local cuisine. While strolling around the area, you will discover the Belle de Grignon, a replica of a Berry flute that brings the canal’s maritime past to life. This barge, built in oak by volunteers, offers walks and allows you to discover the region’s peaceful landscapes.

Grignon Locks and the Lockkeeper's House

Highlight • Monument

This site is most characteristic of the Orléans Canal, which was once a vital waterway for transporting timber and other materials from the Orléans Forest to Paris. You can admire the three old locks and their lock house, which date from the 18th and 19th centuries. You can also see the small forge, built in 1821, which has a charming facade with a circular window. The site also includes a garden with remains of the original ponds. You can enjoy peaceful water and forest views, and perhaps spot the Belle de Grignon, a replica of a 19th century barge that was built by local enthusiasts. The Grignon site is an ideal place to discover the heritage and natural riches of the Loiret.

The first night in a tent this year was quite challenging. It was pitch black on the remote farm, so we were able to see a beautiful starry sky at night, but it was still quite cold. Unfortunately, the busy main road was nearby, and the traffic was loud.
In the morning, everything was quite wet, but fortunately, the sun …
