The bief says Augy's trench was first a shipyard executed by Spanish prisoners, deserters and bagnards between 1830 and 1839. 5 kilometers long and 11 meters wide, its 6 meters deep in a land made of limestone rocks, clay land, sandstone and graphite rocks, and then fully masked stone, gently augment the difficulties of this realization. Many of them left their lives for accidents, dysentery and other epidemics… Most of them are buried in a square of Augy-sur-Aubois cemetery. Immersed in the cliff with the fully wooded upper parts, in the most charming landscape, this surprising book also features ecological benefits. It is a place with many animal species, such as the Martin fisherman, squirrel, deer, heron and other raptors. The entire length of this savory trench for the Berry Canal is classified at Historic Monuments.

Augy-sur-Aubois un petit village du Berry à découvrir
Situés à proximité de la route de St Amand Montrond et Sancoins, plusieurs petits villages représentatifs du Berry sont à découvrir, Sagonne bien sûr avec ses maisons médiévales et son imposant château, mais aussi sa silencieuse voisine, Augy-sur-Aubois dont le centre, construit autour de son église du 12° siècle et classée MH en 1959, a fait l'objet d'une splendide rénovation. Un autre site classé est aussi à découvrir, la tranchée d'Augy qui borde la canal de Berry, construite au début du 19° siècle par bagnards et qui abrite aujourd'hui de nombreux oiseaux et autres petits animaux de la forêt. Augy-Sur-Aubois et Sagonne, deux villages à découvrir absolument si vous passez à proximité de Sancoins, coeur de France.
