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...

One of the 22 locks of the Canal de la Sauldre. The Etang du Puits, with an area of 180 hectares, served as a buffer reservoir for the canal in order to supplement it with water when the Sauldre was not enough to supply it.
