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.

This lock was once part of the Canal de la Sauldre. Water from the Étang du Puits was regulated here to allow ships to pass and maintain the canal's water level. Now it's simply a beautiful spot to pause for a moment...

The lake covers 180 hectares, making it the largest in the Sologne. Originally created in 1864 to supply the Sauldre canal with water. Now partly developed as a recreational area: beach area, hiking trails, water sports (sailing, ski-nautique, pedalo), and an ornithological reserve. For nature lovers: you'll find a rich bird life (cendré heron, grèbe huppé, etc.) and diverse flora along the banks. For families: picnic areas, a beach area in the summer, and playgrounds.

At the end of this alley, you will see the Château de Blancafort, a 15th century building built in place of an old lordship dating from the 11th century. Covered in bricks, the fortified house is surrounded by a beautiful French garden. The castle is currently private and inhabited but can still be visited.

Pleasant little pond with children's games and picnic tables. Perfect for taking a break after a stroll along the Notre Heure River and exploring its old mills.

In the distance, along the road, appear the outbuildings of the Petit Château d'Autry-le-Châtel, a charming 15th century building where the Marquise de Sévigné stayed on several occasions because it belonged to one of her cousins. She mentions it in some of her letters. The castle itself is located in the courtyard, once you have passed these buildings and overlooks Notre Heure.

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.

The largest pond in Sologne which combines rich natural environments, with fauna and flora that can be admired for hours, and facilities conducive to relaxation and swimming, with its beaches and activities on offer.
