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...

Étang du Puits

Highlight • Lake

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.
