Hiking
The Nitray dam is a needle dam established on the Cher.
Built in 1841, it was intended to make the Cher navigable. However, the sharp drop in river traffic during the 20th century made the tributary of the Loire unsuitable for commercial navigation. Only pleasure boats pass through it now.
It was classified in 2011 as a historical monument.
