Entering Apremont-sur-Allier via this section plunges you into the heart of a splendid authentic village. The village castle welcomes you for visits to its gardens. The castle unfortunately cannot be visited.

Lorrains Lock

Highlight • Monument

The Lorrains lock was supplied with water from a water intake located in the Allier. A channel overlooking the river allowed flat-bottomed boats to enter the lock. In 1872, a dam was built on the Allier opposite the lock to compensate for the constant erosion of the river. This finally got the better of the work of men. At the beginning of the 20th century, the drop in the level of the Allier made the lock unusable.

Guétin Canal Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

Remarkable structure 343m long and comprising 18 arches. It allows the Loire lateral canal to pass above the Allier.
Downstream, you can see the Bec d'Allier, a natural site at the confluence of the waters of the Allier and the Loire, classified by the WWF. This unique environment is home to many animal species.
