L' Acheneau

Who are we? Located near the Lac de Grandlieu, the "Chenau" canal was built to facilitate the flow of winter water towards the Loire and then the sea. The lake, which covers an area of around 35 km² in winter, is fed by the Boulogne and Ognon rivers. To the west, it follows

The Acheneau flows peacefully between Lake Grandlieu and the Buzay canal. It is one of the only rivers in France to flow in both directions: its gradient is so slight (40 cm from end to end) that its course can reverse when the tides are high enough to affect the level of the Loire.
