1985 Arrangement Barges Canal Canals Locks Raise Replaced Sept Sophisticated Stepped Loing Montargis


EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the historical charm of the seven-stepped locks of the Canal de Loing at Rogny-les-sept-ecluses, near Montargis, France. The image, taken in 1985, presents a glimpse into the past when these locks were the primary means of raising barges on this waterway. The intricate arrangement of the seven locks, each one slightly larger than the previous one, allowed boats to ascend or descend the significant height difference between the two bodies of water. The scene is idyllic, with the sun casting a warm glow over the tranquil canal and the surrounding trees reflecting in the calm water. The locks, with their distinctive stone structures and wooden gates, stand as testament to the engineering prowess of the past. The gentle flow of water between the locks adds to the serene ambiance, creating a sense of peace and tranquility. However, this historical arrangement is no longer in use. In more recent times, a more sophisticated system has replaced the seven-stepped locks, allowing for a more efficient and streamlined method of transporting barges along the canal. The new system may be more convenient and modern, but the charm and character of the old locks continue to captivate visitors and history enthusiasts. The Canal de Loing, which connects the Seine and the Loing rivers, has played an essential role in the transportation of goods and people in France for centuries. The history of this waterway is rich and fascinating, and a visit to the seven-stepped locks at Rogny-les-sept-ecluses is a must for anyone interested in exploring the past and the engineering marvels that shaped it.
