Montlouis-sur-Loire Viaduct

Highlight • Bridge

This railway viaduct also houses a crossing for pedestrians and cyclists.

Access is on the north side by the D952. Then, you have to follow the small path that goes up along the building. On the south side, take the ramp leading to the quays.

The track is not very wide: the arrival of a train can be surprising. It is therefore advisable to dismount, and enjoy the view!

Nitray Dam

Highlight • Monument

The Nitray dam is a needle dam established on the Cher.

Built in 1841, it was intended to make the Cher navigable. However, the sharp drop in river traffic during the 20th century made the tributary of the Loire unsuitable for commercial navigation. Only pleasure boats pass through it now.

It was classified in 2011 as a historical monument.

La Maison du Passeur Café

Highlight • Cafe

Meals, snacks, a good quality bike pump and some tools for cyclists, even paddles to rent if you want to do something else.
Open in the summer, the Café du Passeur is full of good little products to take a cool break during your bike ride. Especially if it lasts :).
