The river "Le Fusain" rises in the moat of the Château de Barville and flows into the Loing at Château-Landon at the Pont Canal. A left bank tributary of the Loing, this watercourse is not state-owned and is classified as a 2nd category fish river.

In the past, the 18 mills along the Fusain; moulded, crushed, carded, ground and tanned. They made Château-Landon one of the cloth-making towns of the kingdom of France in the Middle Ages.
