Installed on this pond, emblematic figure of the Sologne, the Entaille is a "secret" place of tranquility and observation, at the meeting of the shore and the pond, to enjoy a single look of the perspective and of this remarkable landscape. Before accessing the platform and the expanse of water, the observer passes between two massive walls made of bremaille, which confine him to an alcove absorbing the rustles of nature and framing the view. A singular and artistic object that fits into the natural environment.
