Briare (sometimes known as: Briare-le-Canal) is a commune in the Loiret department in north-central France.
Briare, the Brivodorum of the Romans is situated at the extremity of the Briare Canal, which unites the river Loire and its lateral canal with the Loing and so with the Seine. The lateral canal of the Loire crosses the Loire near Briare by the Briare aqueduct which is 662 m long.[1]
