"Tirer"?!? One of the original gates still extant along this canal. "The Nivernais Canal was built in the early 1800's to transport firewood from the Morvan forests to Paris. As the firewood demands increased there was a need to transport logs from further away, and many areas of the Seine and Loire were not navigable. The Nivernais essentially connects these two rivers for commercial transport."
