Canal Henri IV
The maximum dimensions for a boat to be able to travel on the waterway are 30.40 metres long and 5.20 metres wide. The maximum headroom is 3.50 metres. The maximum draught is 1.20 metres.
Leads directly into the town of Briare. It is actually the beginning section of the Canal de Briare (note that the lock numbers seamlessly transition into the Canal de Briare lock numbers), and before the aqueduct was completed, originally connected with the Loire. It was reopened to navigation in 1988. Note the shallow draught.
The navigational authority for this waterway is Voies navigables de France| Briare-Henri IV Junction The Canal Henri IV and the Canal Latéral à la Loire unite to form The Canal de Briare. |
