Sologne is full of marshland and ponds. Dykes have been added along with sluice gates to fill and empty ponds as needed. The second photo shows a dried pond.
La Sologne est pleine de marais et d’étangs. On a rajouté des digues et des vannes pour remplir et vider les étangs au besoin. La deuxième photo montre un étang desséché.

Shot b] Its banks make the ‘pond’ look man made?
On what occasions are they emptied?
