    Tips

    November 9, 2025

    The old Canal de la Sauldre, once built to transport wood, lime, and peat, meanders through the forests of the Sologne. Today, the water is calm and wooded, but the old locks, bridges, and towpaths still reveal exactly how it once worked. It's an ideal walking route.

      Canal which connects Blancafort (Cher) and Lamotte-Beuvron (Loir-et-Cher) and is 46,810 km long. It is the only canal in France not attached to any waterway, designed to improve agriculture in Sologne with drainage, irrigation and earth transport functions.
      Its construction began urgently in June 1848, after a vote by the National Assembly which wanted to occupy the Parisian workers left behind by the closure of the National Workshops.
