Marked route No. 70.
Start from the lock car park, Rue Hugues Cosnier.
(S/E) With your back to the car park, turn right and cross the bridge over the canal. At the end of the bridge, take the path that leads down to the foot of the locks, with the canal on your left. When you reach the foot of the locks, in front of the chestnut tree, turn right and follow the paved path that runs alongside the old locks, which will now be on your right.
(1) Continue walking with the Old Canal (also known as Rigole de l'Étang Neuf) on your right. Enter the undergrowth and continue.
(2) Stop for a moment to read about and understand an old unit of measurement: the myriamètre. Continue along this path, keeping the Old Canal on your right, and cross the Pont Plat bridge (see Practical Information). Further on, you will need to turn right and then left to avoid entering a private road.
(3) Go straight ahead without crossing the bridge on the right. Continue, keeping the silos in sight. In front of the Briare Canal, turn right and pass under the D14 bridge. Continue along the towpath.
(4) Continue along the towpath with the canal on your left. Pass the Javacière lock, the Racault lock without crossing the canal, the Saint-Joseph lock and then the Chante-Pinot lock.
(5) When you reach the crossroads, turn left and cross the bridge. Carefully cross the D314 to reach the car park (S/E).
