Impressive aquaduct that makes a safe crossing over the river Loire and connects the Latéral with the Briare Canal. Once used by cargo boats it is now used mainly by pleasure boats and cruisers. On the sides you can cycle and walk. The aquaduct was built between 1890 and 1896 by the company of Gustav Eiffel and has a metal trough resting on 14 stone piers. With a length of 662 meter it was when completed the longest navigable aquaduct in the world. There are elaborate lamp posts at each end, reminiscent of the Pont Alexander III in Paris. It has a length Stunning - absolutely Stunning. Silly us, didn't do any research - thank goodness we pulled up for coffee !! This incredible bridge was, up until 2003 the longest aqueduct in the world. Built around 1896, it's over 600 mtrs long. It looks like most folk Park in Briare Town where we found lovely lock cafes, and a classic car display (quite by chance). We actually parked the other end. No barrier, and no time restrictions. The Pont opens into a marina where trips can be had, little side eating huts and public toilets. The aqueduct is spectacular, wrought iron decorative, old victorian lamps and huge sculptured lions at each end. I'd highly recommend a couple of hours here, and most definitely a end to end. A great landmark to visit, cross and explore. A good motorhome aire next to it Absolutely beautiful. One thing to see once in a lifetime. It's crazy to think that a is literally going above a river. This bridge might 130 years old but it's a great life of engineering that shows that when mankind wants to accomplish something, it can. This is gorgeous. If you're coming from Briare, along the Loire to get here. The bistros at the Briare end are quite satisfactory. Well worth a visit. Lovely to over it and the river Loire teeming with wildlife. It was very quiet when we went and we sadly didn’t get to see any boats travel along it. An excellent free place to visit. Amazing views across the Loire River from this stunning feat of engineering. So very impressive, amazing. Really good place for or for run. Also u can make tour with your bicycle. I hear also there is possibility to rent small boat and make tour by yourself , u can use and drive it , dont need any license drive for it. Maybe next time when i visit , i can try. Well maintained bridge. Nice to around and over the river. Adventurous for children. Nice café at the end with baked goods and ice cream. Historic and beautiful aqueduct over the the Loire. Pleasant stroll across.
