Discover the Berry Canal by bike

The narrowest canal in France, the Canal de Berry crosses the Cher département over 190km. To make the most of its bucolic banks, you can follow the Coeur de France cycle route from Tours to the Allier. We'll tell you all about it!

Cycling along the Berry canal

The Canal de Berry offers a picturesque, natural ride. All along its green banks, you can discover locks, old bridges and even drawbridges. Interpretation panels also dot the route. For a different experience, you can also put your bike down for a few hours and hire an electric boat without a licence in Vierzon (from June to August).
