Wooden aiguilles stand side by side in the Cher’s needle dams, regulating water for navigation. At Nitray, Les Amis du Cher canalisé present an exhibition alongside subscriptions and the marking of sponsored needles. These pieces are passed to the river authority for use in the dams, making a small act of support part of the continuing care of this working river heritage.
Nitray: The Wooden Needles That Keep the Cher Navigable
