モントリシャール・ヴァル・デ・シェールでののおすすめグラベルライド

Did you know: During the First World War, the castle was converted into a hospital for wounded soldiers by its owner, Simonne Menier (of the Menier chocolate family). – Long rows of camp beds lined the large gallery above the Cher River. – More than 2,000 wounded were reportedly cared for within the castle walls. A bizarre contrast: the ornate Renaissance halls as a place for bandages, operations, and recovery.

Today the chateau functions as a hotel/restaurant – nice surroundings, good food, very friendly staff, and still at acceptable prices.

From here you can admire the castle in peace and quiet.

This pleasant little square is bustling with activity. The terraces offer a warm welcome in the shade for a refreshing drink or a snack. It's the perfect place to take a break on your way to Chambord.

The interior is also well worth a visit.

The Cher River bike path is fun. However, in some places it's more of a single track, requiring concentration and avoiding many potholes.

Great photo spot for the castle

After some searching we found the new location of Mon Jardin and we certainly did not regret it! The food is still very tasty, the service is warm and caring and the price/quality is very good. You can go there for a cup of coffee with something tasty or possibly also for lunch. Lots of vegetables, also in combination with meat or fish. They also have a small terrace with a view of the river Le Cher.
