LE CHER CANALISÉ lecture by guide Anna Brisson. An imperial decree in 1807 stated: "The Cher will be made navigable along its present course by means of one or more diversions from Montluçon to its mouth in the Loire". A series of mobile dams, known as "needle dams", improved the river?s navigability. Come and discover the surprising history of these engineering structures!
