Montargis – Chailly-en-Gâtinais
Montargis is a must-see destination (Tour Carrée, half-timbered houses, tanneries). Crossed by the Briare Canal and located at the confluence of the Loing, Puiseaux and Vernisson rivers, you will often find yourself crossing a bridge here.
The Briare Canal will take you to the Buges lock, where the Briare, Orléans and Loing canals meet. From there, you will reach the village of Chailly-en-Gatinais by following the Orléans Canal.
500 metres downstream from the May lock, don’t miss the Chevillon-sur-Huillard swing bridge.
