The Briare Aqueduct (Pont-canal de Briare) is an impressive engineerin///g feat located in central France. It carries the Canal latéral à la Loire over the Loire River. Stretching over 660 metres, this 19th-century marvel carries the Canal latéral à la Loire high above the Loire River, linking France’s inland waterways from the Atlantic all the way to Paris.
Opened in 1896 and partly engineered by Gustave Eiffel’s team, the aqueduct combines ironwork with graceful stone piers. Boats glide across as if floating through the sky, a must-see for canal lovers and history buffs alike.
