Canal d'Orléans Greenway

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Wonderful stretch along the Canal d’Orléans. The path is not very wide (approx. 40 cm) but is easy to drive with an average speed of approx. 15 km / h. The landscape is super beautiful. No people on the way.

This shaded path runs along the banks of the canal and offers a pleasant walk through bucolic landscapes, typical of the region. Lined with poplars and willows, the path reveals superb views of the canal, its historic locks, and the surrounding fields.

Canal d'Orléans in Combleux

Highlight • River

The canal was built between 1680 and 1693. After its opening, ships could reach the Seine from the Loire via the Canal d'Orléans and the Canal du Loing and thus go directly to Paris. As the transport performance decreased more and more over the years, the canal was removed from the list of navigable waters in France in 1954 and sold by the state to the local authorities. The current owner, the General Council of the Loiret department, is working on the restoration of the canal and intends to reopen it for water tourism with pleasure boats and houseboats. The Association pour la Navigation du Canal d'Orléans (ANCO) was founded with this objective. On the Loire side, expansion to Grignon has been completed.

Meung-sur-Loire

Highlight • Settlement

Meung-sur-Loire, which must be pronounced "Main", is a small city on the Loire on the right bank, south of Orléans. In its medieval town, its winding streets and its monuments steeped in history invite you to take a stroll back in time. Along the Quai Jeanne d'Arcune, bucolic perspectives on the river follow one another.

Canal of Orléans

Highlight • River

I cycled from Orleans towards Nevers, a really great route. With a cycling map you can get around very well, wonderful routes and well signposted. Camping is possible almost everywhere.
