Briare's pont-canal, completed in 1896 after engineering led by the Eiffel company's workshops, carries the Canal Latéral à la Loire across the Loire itself — a feat that required 18 piers and nearly half a kilometre of iron trough. At the time of its completion it was the longest navigable aqueduct in the world. The 0 Euro souvenir series, administered by the UEES and printed by Oberthur Fiduciaire in Rennes, has no legal tender status anywhere — the denomination is precisely the point.
