Canal de Roanne à Digoin

Highlight (Segment) • River

The Roanne to Digoin canal was built between 1830 and 1836 and extends for approximately 55 kilometres. Nicknamed the "quiet canal", it has remained wild and its banks are home to remarkable flora and fauna. A good part of the canal is bordered by a towpath, but this section of more than 5 kilometers south of Briennon rests on an asphalt cycle path in perfect condition.

Briennon marina

Highlight • Structure

The port of Briennon has been converted into a pretty marina. It is located on the Roanne to Digoin canal just a few hundred meters from the Loire.

Church of Saint Irenaeus

Highlight • Religious Site

Very pretty 11th century church with its polychrome interior decoration and its bell tower located above the choir. It has a modern nave and an old choir. The dark and too narrow nave was replaced in 1837 by the current nave and its aisles.

View of Briennon Marina

Highlight • Viewpoint

From the avenue de Verdun which crosses the Roanne to Digoin canal, enjoy a beautiful view of the port of Briennon which was once an industrial site. Today, the port has been developed for yachting. It is located on the Roanne to Digoin canal, very close to the Loire.
