Route
The Canal Latéral à la Loire towpath is being turned into a greenway between Decize and Nevers. If you have a tough hybrid bike, it is possible even now to follow the unsurfaced towpath, running unbroken from Decize to Nevers.
Before Nevers, follow the Canal de Jonction (a linking canal) to reach the bridge over the Loire.
Alternative route by road
Going by road: take the D 133 from Luthenay to St-Parize, then the D 203 and D 200 for Chevenon and on to Sermoise-sur-Loire.
