Topic: Digoin


In the News (Fri 18 Dec 09)

  
  Bienvenue à DIGOIN - Edito
Digoin, ville située en bord de Loire, possède de nombreux atouts pour les touristes.
Digoin a été habitée dès les temps les plus reculés de l'âge de pierre comme le montrent les nombreux silex et pierres taillées trouvés dans les stations préhistoriques des environs de Digoin, à Volgu notamment.
Digoin est d'origine romaine et son nom dérive de deux termes latins (De Negotio), pays de commerce, à cause de ces grandes voies que les romains avaient coutume de créer partout où ils faisaient des Etablissements.

 Digoin   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
The town of Digoin is situated at the junction of the Arroux and Loire rivers.
These are paralleled by the Canal du Centre, the canal leading from Roanne to Digoin and the canal which runs alongside the Loire, called the Canal Latéral à la Loire.
Digoin owes its prosperity to its position as the hub of these waterways.

Meanwhile the locomotive that had taken the 05.29 from Toulon spent the day shuttling between the PLM station at Le Fourneau, and the town station of Bourbon-Lancy.  This part of the line was in fact dual gauge, the metre gauge inside the standard gauge.
Between Etang and Digoin there were three trains a day in the summer of 1914 each taking between two and two and a half hours for the 53 km(33 miles).
During the final three years of its existence CFD, operators of the Digoin - Etang service, used the Billard A80D railcar of the type seen above on the Vivarais.  The Billard railcar offered exceptional comfort with 32 seats and excellent suspension.  But it was not enough to save the line.

Inside a 1.5" rim there is a rendition of J.J. Grandville's "Le Chien Qui Porte a Son Cou le Diner de Son Maitre." The front carries two inscriptions: "Fables de la Fontaine" and the title.
The back has "Fables de la Fontaine" and "Digoin, Sarreguemines, France." $23 from Mary Ellen Kennedy, Larchmont, NY, Feb., '00.
As always with Grandville, some of the fun lies in the clothes with which these three dogs are done up.

 Biking the Loire - Part III
An across-Europe bike route is supposed to follow the Loire as far as Digoin and then cross Burgandy, Jura, to Basel (Switzerland), from which it will follow the Rhine and the Danube, through Germany, Austria, and Hungary to Budapest.
Inspired by this concept, yet to be realized, the author, from the general description found on the Internet of the planned European route, and from the study of maps, has come up with an itinerary than can accomplish the same goal now.
South of Digoin there is no evident place to stay until Roanne (52 kilometers by main road, 60 kilometers or more by back roads to the west of the Loire).
