Étangs Solognots

Highlight (Segment) • Lake

Small road that goes around pretty ponds: The Buisson pond and the Buffières pond.

There are more than 3,000 ponds in Sologne. Created in the Middle Ages by the Benedictine monks from natural depressions, they were used to water the herds and to develop the breeding of freshwater fish.

Sologne Resistance Memorial

Highlight • Other

A granite monument displaying a cross of Lorraine faces the entrance to the Château du Cerf-Bois here and recalls one of the greatest tragedies in the history of the Sologne resistance. It was erected in memory of 12 Parisian students shot by the Nazis on June 10, 1944 in the clearing that you can reach by following the path in front of you. Another monument was erected in this clearing, accompanying the steles in memory of each of the young men.

These young Parisian students were part of a large wave of departures for the maquis following the call of June 6, 1944 by Marshal de Gaulle. On June 9, they reached their first stop towards the Corrèze maquis: the Château de Cerf-Bois, where Madame de Labeau welcomed them.
Another group of students was welcomed the same evening at the By farm, about fifteen kilometers away. However, this information having been obtained by the Gestapo, they were apprehended on June 10 at 5 a.m., searched, questioned then shot, apart from a traitor hidden among them and affiliated with the Paris Gestapo. He indicated to the Germans that the sketch found on one of the students corresponded to three resistance gathering places, including the Château de Cerf-Bois.
A raid was immediately organized at the castle and the 12 young men who were there were executed.
As for the third place indicated on the sketch, the Château des Grand-Bois, 14 students and the owner of the premises were also found and deported to Dachau, where eight died.

Archaeological Site of Vienne-en-Val

Highlight • Historical Site

At this location, during sanitation work in 1968, a certain number of ancient and medieval remains were unearthed, witnesses to the occupation of this site since Antiquity. Vienne-en-Val is also located on the Roman road from Orléans to Sancerre.
The presence of two churches, one Merovingian and one dating from the 10th century, was revealed by surveys. The remains found, in particular sculpted blocks reused in these later constructions, attest that a sanctuary from the Early Roman Empire existed in the area but its location has not yet been discovered.
You can discover these ancient blocks nearby, in a community hall which serves as a lapidary museum.
