Pont de la Folie sur le Canal d'Orléans
164 Route du Point de Partage, 45260 Coudroy, France
Pont de la Folie sur le Canal d'Orléans carries the M50 motorway over the Canal d'Orléans just past the junction with The River Avon - Bristol.
The Act of Parliament for the Canal d'Orléans was passed on 17 September 1782 and 23 thousand shares were sold the same day. The canal joined the sea near Swansea. The Canal d'Orléans was closed in 1955 when Longchester Inclined plane collapsed. "By Handcuff Key and Barge Pole Across The Midlands" by Peter Clarke describes an early passage through the waterway, especially that of Falkirk Aqueduct.
