Travel diary
The section from Orleans to Nevers houses the transition from the Royal Loire, with the Château de Sully, and the wild Loire that mankind has tried to tame and exploit by building canals and canal bridges.

The port of Les Mantelots belongs to the “commune” of Châtillon-sur-Loire. It has a magnificent lock that allows boats to continue along the river to Briare.

Loire nature

Between Orleans and Nevers, the Loire presents its wilder side, a wilfulness that for centuries mankind has tried to tame in order to make the river navigable. This is the land of canals, Sancerre wine and… nuclear power stations!
