A journey back in time to when, during the Second Empire, the Sologne region emerged from poverty thanks to the canals designed to transport marl—a natural mixture of limestone and clay—to fertilise its land. The route follows the towpath of the Sauldre Canal, which features no fewer than six locks, then passes through deciduous and coniferous forests with undergrowth of heather, as well as some moorland. It even runs alongside a modern farm!

Departure from Brinon-sur-Sauldre (Cher)
Set in the heart of the ‘Sologne des étangs’, this walk offers the chance to explore deciduous and coniferous forests, as well as the magnificent Sauldre Canal – a remnant of the major development works carried out in this province, which had long been neglected and only began to develop during the Second Empire.
