A Millennial Church The Church of Saint-Sulpice, established as a parish in 1050, is a modest building steeped in history. Formerly part of the Diocese of Orléans, it joined the Diocese of Blois in 1823. It was given in 1105 to the Abbey of Micy-Saint-Mesmin by Sanche, Lord of La Ferté-Hubert. While the Collegiate Church of Saint-Gervais-et-Saint-Protais, once a neighbor, no longer exists, Saint-Sulpice remains a testament to the region's medieval past. La Ferté-Saint-Cyr is also the birthplace of Blessed Daniel Brottier, founder of the National Union of Veterans. Located near the castles of Chambord and Talcy, as well as the Sologne Nature Reserve, the church attracts visitors and worshippers eager to discover this heritage.

The church was built at the beginning of the 16th century by the master mason Etienne Fondant (d. 1526), whose epitaph is preserved. The massive, quadrangular bell tower-porch to the west dates from the 16th century and is surmounted by a spire rebuilt in the 19th century. La Saussaye writes that around 1810 there was a "60-foot spire" which was toppled and replaced. The baptismal font dates from between 1520 and 1528 and bears the coat of arms of Claude d'Etampes, the lord who founded the church, and his wife Anne Robertet. The 17th-century altarpiece was extensively altered ("disfigured," wrote Dr. Lesueur) in the 19th century. The lectern and the chancel screen date from the 18th century.

Timeless road, moss in the middle of the road, but very smooth.

Superb view

For €4, you can do a mini wine tasting, which means you can try three wines from a selection of around 50. You choose your own wines from the vending machine. It's closed for lunch (1:15 p.m. - 2:15 p.m.). You can try (and buy) various cookies for free before or afterward in the biscuit shop next door 😉.

"A very old church; two buttresses would allow us to date it to the 11th century," we learn. "Rebuilt in the 13th century, damaged during the Hundred Years' War, it was rebuilt again in the 16th century before being burned down during the Wars of Religion and then looted during the Revolution. Its last restoration dates back to 2014."
