Magnificent journey, stop 5 km before the bistro island and return via the Cher on the cycle path

This place exists and is wonderful, but it is many kilometers further west than indicated here, just off the A85, in the hamlet of Pichonnerie.

On the cycle path to Thésee, a little paradise nestled in a wooded garden... you'll be welcomed by charming owners who offer shaded bike parking, lounges under the trees, and original drinks, as well as a selection of local specialties at more than affordable prices... A true delight, highly recommended to our cycling and touring friends!

Or more precisely above the Sauldre a little before its confluence with the Cher

A little curiosity on the wall of a barn

The Collegiate Church of Saint-Aignan is a French church located in the center of the city of Orléans, on the north bank of the Loire River, in the Loiret department in the Centre-Val de Loire region. It is dedicated to Saint Aignan, Bishop of Orléans. This beautiful church was originally built for the cult of Saint Aignan, whose relics were kept in the crypt. The current basilica, begun by Charles VII in 1438 but completed in 1509 by Louis XII, is not the first construction, as traces of buildings dating from the 6th, 9th, 11th, 14th, and 15th centuries have been found. They were all destroyed by fire, floods, or human hands. The people of Orléans, and in particular the canons, have always been keen to rebuild this building because Saint Aignan is an important figure in the history of Orléans, due to the role he played against the barbarians in the 5th century. While bishop of the city, he is said to have miraculously defended it against the Hun invasion in 451. https://www.tourismeloiret.com/fr/diffusio/visites/collegiale-saint-aignan-orleans_TFOPCUCEN045V501HHG

Saint Aignan, who died in 453 after defending the people of Orleans against the Huns, was buried in a first tomb. As veneration of his relics grew, a basilica was built. A community of monks settled there, and canons replaced them in the 9th century. Following the damage caused by Norman attacks and the fire of 999, Charles the Bald began reconstruction, and Robert the Pious completed the Romanesque church with its crypt housing the relics of Saint Aignan. This church was consecrated on June 14, 1029. We will soon celebrate its millennium. https://collegiale-saintaignan-dorleans.fr/la-crypte/
