Canal Latéral à la Loire

Highlight • River

The Loire lateral canal is 196 kilometers long and allows, with other structures, the connection of the Rhône and the Seine. Thanks to it, the three largest rivers in France are thus connected.

The Digoin aqueduct is both a curiosity and a rarity. This 243-meter bridge allows barges to pass over the Loire River. It is also open to pedestrians and cyclists, who are asked to walk alongside their bicycles during the crossing. This remarkable structure was designed in the 1880s and 1890s. It allows the Loire Lateral Canal to connect with the Canal du Centre a little further downstream.

Basilica of Paray-le-Monial

Highlight • Historical Site

The Romanesque basilica of Paray-le-Monial is contemporary with Cluny Abbey since it was consecrated in 977, and allows us to imagine the splendor of its great neighbor, almost entirely destroyed during the French Revolution. Its orange-yellow limestone stones add to the richness, majesty and simplicity of the place. It is the most visited building in the Saône-et-Loire department.
