Today we start at 7:00 AM from the hotel and have 85 km ahead of us with a later temperature of 37 °C.

At Mardié, the Canal d'Orléans leaves the Loire, and we are also leaving the Loire Valley. Our destination today is Cepoy.
The Canal d'Orléans was put into operation in 1693. It creates a waterway from the Loire through the Canal du Loing to the Seine and thus to Paris.





The waterways at Cepoy are a bit tangled. The Canal d'Orléans meets the Canal de Briare at Buges. Northward, both continue as branches of the Canal du Loing. The Solin river meets the Loing river.





Everything will be fine...
