Les-Sept-Écluses, Historical lock system in Rogny-les-Sept-Écluses, France.
The Seven Locks consist of a cascade of seven consecutive chambers built on a steep slope, reaching a height of 24 meters.
Engineers designed and constructed this hydraulic structure between 1604 and 1642 under the direction of King Henry IV and Minister Sully.
The locks represent a significant achievement in 17th-century French engineering, demonstrating the period's advanced water management techniques.
Visitors can access the monument throughout the year with free parking available at the base of the structure.
The locks required 12,000 workers for construction and remained operational until 1887, when extended locking times led to their closure.
