Nice looking traditional French hotel by the Loire with excellent breakfast
Hotel La Poularde is situated in Gien in the Centre region, on the banks of the Loire River. The hotel proposes an on-site restaurant and free Wi-Fi internet access in public areas.

Briare itself is a small town located on the East bank of the River Loire, to the SE of Orleans. It is easily accessible , located a mile from one of the autoroutes going South from Paris to the Middle and South of France.
Briare's main feature is the amazing bridge or aqueduct, built in cast iron, that was built in the 19th Century to take the Briare Canal across the River Loire. A very long bridge. Essential viewing! We walked on the canal tow path from St Fermin on the West bank to Briare, looked round the town for several hours, then back. Watrerway lovers will enjoy the several canls that meet here.
The town is the site of a huge factory, closed in the 1960's but still open in part as a museum, making mosaic and glass beads and buttons. The museum is in urfgent need of a refresh, but is well worth a visit . The church in the middle of town is covered with mosaics in the French Art Nouveau and Romanesque styles. Essential viewing too.
The River Loire and its valley extends for hundreds of miles, so Briare is one of many towns and villages , lost of historic and architectural interest, set within beautiful countryside along the river.
This is not the area of the Loire with the greatest number of Chataeux, but there are still many in the area.
Briare and its area is well worth a trip and a stay of several day.
It is easy to hire a kayak and go on canoe trips on the Loire which is classed as a large natural river, or hire a bike or e bike to cycle the miles of level paths along the river.
There are several restaurants in the town-- notably in the canal area to the Centre / North area of town.

Briare is a lesser known town on the Loire.
Briare is a lesser known town on the Loire. Well worth a visit to view the aquaduct which carries the canal over the River Loire. The aquaduct was built by Gustave Eiffel. Service at La Glacier Restaurant was poor and long-winded. We walked out after half an hour after trying and failing to get a drink.

Small and quiet town, nice and relaxed, we stayed 2 nights, probably 3 or 4 would allow you to see more. We visited the Pont-Canal, the canal museum and the Chateau de Bussiere but it would have been good to have another day to visit a few more things.

It has to be one of the best kept secrets the Loire river is so beautiful and picturesque and totally quiet!
The restaurant Le Petit St Trop is a gem fantastic food and fantastic service and worth every penny!
We loved the location. Staff were really friendly and had a great sense if humour. As it was peak heatwave we were grateful that our room had A/C. Breakfast was really nice and tasty. The hotel is really clean and they do a great job each day making it spotless. We really enjoyed our stay and I would recommend this hotel.
For anyone biking the Loire à Vélo, this hotel is a perfect place to stay. The owners have a background in the bike world, a fabulous and very safe garage to store your bike/s, and a large breakfast buffet to get your day's ride off to a good start. The location near the center is good too! I very much enjoyed my stay!
A comfortable stay with a very friendly host -a lovely breakfast and freshly baked cakes for our journey.We stayed for one night travelling south and 2 nights travelling north and Regine made us very welcome.We also loved hiring bikes for the day and cycling around Briare and Gien.
A fantastic hotel which showed us some of the great hospitality in Rural France. Mme Marie Claire was fabulous and helped us in every way possible. She went way beyond what is expected of a Manager. Had a great breakfast.
Would have liked to stay longer.
Extremely comfortable family run hotel, with good beds, modern bathroom & excellent breakfast. Friendly & helpful service. Excellent restaurants within short walking distance. Complimentary secure parking within hotel's gated courtyard.
We had a large bedroom with a great bathroom with powerful shower. Food was excellent with a good choice. A very good and varied breakfast table. The hotel was close to the town centre and easily accessible to main roads.
The friendliness and willingness to assist us to ensure we enjoyed our visit to Briare. Breakfasts were excellent. Location central and easy to find from the railway station. Dinner was available.
Marie is warm and welcoming. The hotel is in a good location. If you like quirky accommodations, unlike the usual cookie cutter hotels, this is for you! Be aware of a narrow, steep staircase.
