Looking out over the River Cher toward Montrichard, the town appears gently layered along the slope above the water. The river moves calmly below, reflecting the sky and tthe stone houses and tiled roofs with their pale façades catching the light.
Above them, the medieval château dominates the scene, its towers and ramparts standing solid against the horizon. It gives the view a sense of age and permanence, as if the river has been passing beneath it for centuries without interruption. The bridge spans the Cher with quiet confidence, linking the riverbanks and drawing the eye toward the heart of the town.
“Every town and village in the Loire Valley tells its story softly — in rooftops, stonework and narrow streets.”
Part of the “Towns & Villages of the Loire” Series
Each Tuesday, we visit one of the Loire Valley’s towns or villags of the Loire Valley — their streets, stories, and quiet beauty.
