Park at the Salle des Fêtes Théodore Gérard.
(S/E) With your back to the Salle des Fêtes, follow the Loire embankment then Boulevard Voltaire as far as the suspension bridge.
(1) Cross the bridge over the Loire to reach Île de Caqueret. Turn right immediately after the bridge. After about a hundred metres, turn right onto a track suitable for vehicles.
(2) Leave this track and take the first footpath on the left. Carry on straight ahead at the various junctions. Walk alongside a pond on your left. Shortly afterwards, rejoin the track and follow it to the left.
(3) Continue along the track to its end. If the water level of the Loire isn’t too high, you can walk carefully along the concrete embankment. There is a beautiful view of the confluence with the Aron and the Canal du Nivernais, as well as the needle dam and the hydroelectric power station.
(4) Head back the way you came.
(3) Before the pond, take the path on the left which runs as close as possible to the Loire. At a junction, turn left and immediately take a path on the left to stay alongside the river.
(2) Follow the track on the left that you took on the way there. Cross the bridge to cross the Loire again.
(1) As you come off the bridge, take the first street on the right. At the T-junction, turn right onto Avenue du Gué du Loup, following the water collection wells on the left-hand side and then the River Loire on the right-hand side.
(5) Turn left with the road and walk past the pumping station. Head back into town, ignoring the turn-offs on the right.
(6) At the crossroads, turn left onto Rue du 19 mars 1962. Continue along Rue Madeleine, then turn left onto Rue M. Monnot.
(7) Turn left onto Rue Lakanal. At the end, turn right, then left at the corner by the Town Hall onto Rue Jean Jacques Rousseau. Walk past Saint-Aré Church and, at the end of the street, first turn right then left onto Rue du Maréchal Foch to reach the bridge over the Loire.
(1) Turn right onto Boulevard Voltaire. When the road bends to the right, turn left onto the Loire embankment. Continue straight on to reach the Salle des Fêtes (S/E).
