Site du Marais Pin (Magné)

This site includes a lock house from 1865 which, unoccupied since 1987, was sold in 2007 by the Direction de l'Equipement and a lock dam with fishway. Nearby is the "jackass" whose legend of the late nineteenth century tells us that the unstable ground engulfed unlucky travellers in the swamps! In fact, the “motte”, a high plot surrounded by “ditches” (canals) to grow the farm’s vegetables, is wobbling under the weight of its visitors, especially at the time of the flood.
