생 줄리앙 드 셰동 최고의 사이클링 경로

A tower that was deliberately sawn off. Yes, really. During this loop through Montrichard Val de Cher, you'll climb to the ruins of the Château de Montrichard. With views over the Cher, it's as if you were ruling the region yourself. Only... that keep didn't collapse. It was deliberately lowered by Henry IV. Impressive. A magnificent view.

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.

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

The interior is also well worth a visit.

Great photo spot for the castle

Here you can photograph endless castles, both large and small. I wasn't able to photograph all of them - I wasn't allowed to stop that often!

Pleasant and peaceful place to hike by bike or on foot.

A beautiful cycle path along the Cher. Be careful, the track can be flooded and impassable when the Cher is in flood
