Well maintained bridge. Nice to walk around and over the river. Adventurous for children. Nice café at the end with baked goods and ice cream.

Really good place for walk or for run. Also u can make tour with your bicycle. I hear also there is possibility to rent small boat and make tour by yourself , u can use and drive it , dont need any license drive for it. Maybe next time when i visit , i can try.

Well worth a visit. Lovely to walk over it and the river Loire teeming with wildlife. It was very quiet when we went and we sadly didn’t get to see any boats travel along it.

Impressive aquaduct that makes a safe crossing over the river Loire and connects the Canal Latéral with the Briare Canal. Once used by cargo boats it is now used mainly by pleasure boats and canal cruisers. On the sides you can cycle and walk. The aquaduct was built between 1890 and 1896 by the company of Gustav Eiffel and has a metal trough resting on 14 stone piers. With a length of 662 meter it was when completed the longest navigable aquaduct in the world. There are elaborate lamp posts at each end, reminiscent of the Pont Alexander III in Paris. It has a length

Absolutely beautiful. One thing to see once in a lifetime. It's crazy to think that a canal is literally going above a river. This bridge might 130 years old but it's a great life of engineering that shows that when mankind wants to accomplish something, it can.

A great landmark to visit, cross and explore. A good motorhome aire next to it

So very impressive, amazing.

Nice small museum, be attentive to the visiting hours...

(Translated by Google) Noted open during school holidays, but closed until March 1st. Moved for nothing. Shop open with a lady on her computer who seemed to be disturbed. (Original) Noté ouvert pendant les congés scolaires, mais fermé jusqu'au 1er mars. Déplacement effectué pour rien. Boutique ouverte avec une dame sur son ordinateur que l'on semblait déranger.

(Translated by Google) Very informative, interesting past of this magnificent city and its enamels. (Original) Très instructif, passé intéressant de cette magnifique ville et de ses émaux.

(Translated by Google) Impressive museum about the life's work of old Mr Bapterosses, who pretty much built Briare. From button factory to mosaic pieces and tiles in all shapes and sizes. Extra fun is the mountain of rejected tiles behind the factory where you can collect yourself. A bit lacking in detail. Sufficient English explanations and subtitles for the very instructive film. (Original) Indrukwekkend museum over het levenswerk van de oude heer Bapterosses, die Briare zo'n beetje gebouwd heeft. Van knopenfabriek naar mozaiekstukjes en tegels in alle soorten en maten. Extra leuk is de berg met afgekeurde tegeltjes achter de fabriek waar je zelf kunt verzamelen. Wat weinig gedetailleerd. Wel voldoende engelse uitleg en ondertiteling bij de zeer instructieve film.

(Translated by Google) Place closed due to the health crisis Very warm welcome at the reception service. I recommend and I will come back (Original) Lieu fermé en raison de la crise sanitaire Très bon accueil au service réception. Je recommande et je reviendrai

(Translated by Google) Good time discovering enamels and the factory. Cool riddles for children. (Original) Bon moment a la découverte des émaux et de la fabrique. Énigmes sympas pour les enfants .

Cool, quiet with atmospheric music in the background. Fantastic mosaics and some stained glass

Stunning!

Friendly waitress. Very nice food for reasonable price.

Nice to visit.

Correct

Nice church

(Translated by Google) The Church of Saint-Étienne is a Catholic church located in the commune of Briare, in the Centre-Val de Loire region of France. Built between 1890 and 1895, it is notable for its distinctive Neo-Byzantine architectural style, combined with a Neo-Gothic bell tower that reaches a height of 56 meters. Its construction was financed almost entirely by the Bapterosses family, owners of the renowned Briare Enamel Factory, to replace an earlier 13th-century church that had been damaged by a flood and had become too small. The building has been listed as a historical monument since 1987. The interior of the church is particularly remarkable for its lavish decoration with mosaics made from the enamels of the local factory, designed by the artist Eugène Grasset. These mosaics cover the floor, walls, and vaults, creating a visual effect described as "a magnificent tapestry." In addition to the mosaics, the church has stained glass windows made by Félix Gaudin, also based on designs by Grasset, which include the unusual representation of the signs of the zodiac. (Original) La Iglesia de Saint-Étienne es un templo católico ubicado en la comuna de Briare, en la región de Centro-Valle de Loira, Francia. Construida entre 1890 y 1895, destaca por su particular estilo arquitectónico neobizantino, combinado con un campanario neogótico que alcanza los 56 metros de altura. Su construcción fue financiada casi en su totalidad por la familia Bapterosses, propietaria de la famosa fábrica de Esmaltes de Briare, para reemplazar una iglesia anterior del siglo XIII que había sido dañada por una inundación y se había quedado pequeña. El edificio está catalogado como monumento histórico desde 1987. El interior de la iglesia es especialmente notable por estar profusamente decorado con mosaicos elaborados con los esmaltes de la fábrica local, diseñados por el artista Eugène Grasset. Estos mosaicos cubren el suelo, las paredes y las bóvedas, creando un efecto visual descrito como "un maravilloso tapiz". Además de los mosaicos, la iglesia posee vidrieras realizadas por Félix Gaudin, también basadas en diseños de Grasset, que incluyen la inusual representación de los signos del zodíaco.

Went on the 90 minute canal tour. Great opportunity to take photos of the Pont du Canal from the canal! Boat was good, but all the commentary is only in French. Even so, it was an enjoyable trip. There is a chance to buy postcards, coffee or ice creams in the booking office before or after your trip.

We have just returned from a trip to France, whilst there we went on a river cruise in Briare, we had a 4 course lunch and wine. The value was excellent, the staff very helpful and friendly. As we were the only English couple on board, they gave us a print out in English describing the details of the canal and its history, I'd like to thank all involved for making this a very enjoyable trip, and would happily recommend this xx

Very satisfying.. The staff are very nice❤️❤️❤️❤️

Top !

Super

(Translated by Google) We had a great time aboard the Briare restaurant boat. We chose the "Land" menu, which we enjoyed, apart from the chicken, which was a bit dry, but the sauces and seasonings were very good. The dishes were served without much waiting, just what was needed to enjoy the crossing. The cruise commentator was very pleasant to listen to with humorous remarks. A cruise that I recommend. (Original) Nous avons passé un très bon moment à bord du bateau-restaurant de Briare. Nous avions choisi le menu "Terre" que nous avons apprécié mis à part le poulet qui était un peu sec mais les sauces et assaisonnements étaient très bons. Les plats ont été servis sans trop d'attente, juste ce qu'il fallait pour profiter de la traversée. Le commentateur de la croisière était très agréable à écouter avec des remarques pleines d'humour. Une croisière que je recommande.

(Translated by Google) The setting is great and we were very well received and helped to load the wheelchairs of the people we were accompanying. A small downside is the commentator who lacks joviality. Furthermore, there is not a single moment without words during the walk. (Original) Le cadre est super et nous avons été super bien accueillis et nous ont aidé pour monter les fauteuils roulants des personnes que nous accompagnons. Petit bémol sur le commentateur qui manque de jovialité. De plus, il n’y aucun moment sans parole pendant la balade.

This is a nicely done local museum. Good to tour this for 30min before taking the canal lunch cruise so you know the history and don't have to translate the French, that is unless your into improving your French. In which case, try to read all the placards in the museum and listen attentively to the presentation on the boat. If not, relax, most everyone tries to accomodate in English for you.

An excellent museum and guide in English. Even at 10.30 in the morning the staff were very helpful and knowledgeable. Many Thanks

Lots of things shown here. Our small children liked it.

(Translated by Google) This museum is definitely worth the detour. You'd never imagine it contains so many treasures. In the 20 years I've been going to Briare, I'd never set foot there. The guided tour is of high quality, combining professionalism, precision, and humor. You'll discover the life of the boatmen on the Loire and the canals, the history and operation of the canals, locks, boats, merchandise, the famous Canal Bridge, and more. You'll find documents, photos, models, objects, and more—truly very interesting. And the best part... the welcome and the guide's speaking skills. Bravo! I highly recommend it. (Original) Ce musée vaut vraiment le détour. On ne s'imagine pas qu'il contient tant de trésors. Depuis plus de 20 ans que je vais à Briare je n'y avais jamais mis les pieds. La visite guidée est de grande qualité alliant professionnalisme, précision et humour. Vous allez découvrir la vie des mariniers sur la Loire et sur les Canaux, l'histoire et fonctionnement des canaux, écluses... les bateaux, les marchandises, le fameux Pont-Canal... Vous y trouverez des documents, des photos, des maquettes, des objets,.... vraiment très intéressant. Et le plus,... l'accueil et les qualités d'orateur du guide. Bravo! Je vous le conseille.

(Translated by Google) A somewhat hidden museum and not very well located but well worth the detour. We had a great time as a family. Lots of models, dioramas and the treasure hunt for the children was a real hit. (Original) Un musée un peu caché et pas très bien placé mais qui vaut le détour. Nous avons passé un très bon moment en famille. Beaucoup de maquettes, de dioramas et le jeu de piste pour les enfants a beaucoup plu.

(Translated by Google) Very interesting museum to see for those who are interested in the river world (Original) Musée très intéressant à voir pour veux qui sont intéressés par l'univers fluvial

(Translated by Google) The museum looked small from the outside, but it's actually quite large inside. Truly beautiful and well-made. The rooms are spotlessly clean and immaculately kept. Lots of artifacts and reconstructions of fishing-related environments. The price is super reasonable: €6 per person. Truly beautiful, I highly recommend a visit. WELL DONE, KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK. (Original) Museo che dal di fuori sembrava piccolo ma poi all'interno è parecchio grande. Veramente bellissimo e ben fatto. Locali pulitissimi e tenuti in modo perfetto. Tantissimi reperti e ricostruzioni di ambienti inerenti alla pesca. Prezzo super onesto 6 € a persona. Veramente bello consiglo vivamente una visita. BRAVISSIMI CONTINUATE COSÌ.

Rallye is

Cool

Took friends on it.

(Translated by Google) This 45-minute tour was really nice!! I discovered Briare and the Loire in a very pretty light, our granddaughters were delighted!!! (Original) Vraiment sympa ce tour de 45 minutes !! J'ai découvert Briare et la Loire sous un très joli aspect, nos petites filles étaient enchantées !!!

(Translated by Google) The manager is very friendly and took us with a group even though we hadn't booked a ride. Thanks to him. The trip allowed us to explore Briare and its surroundings without tiring us out. (Original) Le responsable est très sympa et nous a embarqués avec un groupe alors que nous n'avions pas réservé. Merci à lui. Le trajet nous a permis de découvrir Briare et ses environs sans nous fatiguer

(Translated by Google) Very interesting tour in carriages that are a little small for tall people, very well-written commentary, pleasant 45 minutes. (Original) Visite très intéressante dans des wagons un peu justes pour les grands, commentaires très biens faits, 45' agréables.

(Translated by Google) Very nice circuit and other views of the canal bridge and the different canals (Original) Très beau circuit et autres vues sur le pont canal et les différents canaux

First class wine and first class people. Our issue is with the language which we really do not now enough of BT fortunately we managed between us. 100% worgh calling in and buy some exceptional wine.

Discovered this winery at the market in Briare. We returned to the cave to purchase more wine. Lovely service and tasting. Top quality wines and great to meet and support a family winery.

Warm welcome and very good wine tasting. Only asked for the white wine to taste but had the full selection of red as well. Very good value.

(Translated by Google) Very good estate with whites with superb value for money and very good reds. Worth the detour. The Coteaux du Giennois appellation is little known and still very little speculative. Which means the wines are very good and still affordable. I remember a 2017 from Domaine Poupat, in white, absolutely delicious and an extremely reasonable price. Difficult to find better and as good these days. (Original) Très bon domaine avec des blancs au rapport qualité/prix superbe et des rouges très bons. Vaut le détour. L'appellation coteaux du Giennois est peu connue et encore très peu spéculative. Ce qui fait que les vins sont très bons et encore abordables. J'ai le souvenir d'un 2017 du domaine Poupat, en blanc, absolument délicieux et un tarif excessivement raisonnable. Difficile de trouver mieux et aussi bon de nos jours.

(Translated by Google) A welcome worthy of this delicious Loire wine. An exemplary welcome, we know how to share a passion with you. An essential address. (Original) Un accueil à la hauteur de ce délicieux vin de Loire. Un accueil exemplaire, on sait vous faire partager une passion. Une adresse incontournable.

(Translated by Google) Very well received, pleasant wine to drink! (Original) Très bien accueillis du vin agréable à boire !

(Translated by Google) Good morning. We passed in August. With the France Passion networks. Very well received. Good tasting.
