The Canal de Berry (French pronunciation: [kanal beʁi]) is a disused canal in France which links the Canal latéral à la Loire at Marseilles-lès-Aubigny with the Cher at Noyers rejoining the Loire near Tours. With a branch from Montluçon it provided 261 kilometres (162 mi) of canal with locks 2.7 metres (8.9 ft) wide from 1840 until its closure in 1955. There is now a 15 kilometres (9.3 mi) long operational segment with five locks between Selles-sur-Cher and Noyers-sur-Cher.[1][2]
