Un étang. Un étang est un plan d’eau artificiel. On barre une petite vallée avec une digue qu’on appelle la chaussée. Une bonde permet de vider l’étang. (Voir le beau travail de l’école de Bauzy sur le sujet : www.icem-pedagogie-freinet.org/sites/default/files/FTJ_22...) Depuis le Moyen-Age, les étangs sont construits en grand nombre en Sologne. À la Renaissance on les estime à 4000. Les étangs sont, à cette époque, d’un grand rapport, un hectare d’étang rapporte 10 fois plus qu’un hectare de terre agricole en Beauce. Avec 140 jours maigres par an, la demande en poissons est grande. Au 16ème siècle, les guerres de religion désorganisent la distribution du poisson et les étangs sont abandonnés. Les étangs se colmatent et deviennent des marécages. Les moustiques pullulent et les fièvres palustres se développent. La misère et les maladies font chuter l’espérance de vie vers 23 ans aux 17ème et 18ème siècles. A la révolution, le décret du 14 frimaire an II décidait l’assèchement des étangs.le décret avait pour objet de « rendre à la santé et à la vie des milliers de Français qui moissonnent, chaque année, avant le terme marqué par la nature des maladies produites par les funestes émanations des étangs ». (ahrf.revues.org/pdf/449) Le paludisme régressa en Sologne probablement grâce, en partie, à l’apparition de la quinine. Les solognots réexploiteront les étangs. (www.afes.fr/afes/egs/EGS_13_1_fanica.pdf) A pond is an artificial lake. A dam, so-called « la chaussée », is dam of a small valley. A drain makes emptying the pond. Since the Middle Ages, the ponds are built in large numbers in Sologne. During the Renaissance the estimated number of ponds in Sologne at 4000. The ponds are at this period a great resource, one hectare pond earn 10 times more than a hectare of agricultural land in the Beauce. With 140 days of fasting a year, there is a high demand for fish. Religious wars disrupt the distribution of fish, and ponds are abandoned. Ponds clog and become swamps. Mosquitoes proliferate and malarial fevers develop. Poverty and disease are falling life expectancy to 23 years in the 17th and 18th centuries. During the Revolution, the decree of 14 Frimaire II decided drying ponds. The decree was to "make the health and lives of thousands of French people who die each year before the date because of diseases caused by the deadly vapors ponds." Malaria regressed in Sologne probably due in part to the emergence of quinine. The solognots re-exploit ponds.

"This is bizarre… The apartments are for .old people’! It’s an old folks home…!! It’s a home for the aged…!!! It’s a retirement home!!!! Even more bizarre…The name of the building on the booking site has nothing to do with the name of the building in Orleans… Please see photo I was looking for quite a while for the building… before I notice the number… and enquired within… The accommodation was fine… but … this is bizarre The area is starting to be a bit run down… … and was a bit worried...
