디에르 최고의 워킹 & 하이킹 경로

From the water, the castle appears to float above the Cher River. Because the gallery is literally built over the river, it creates a reflection that makes the castle appear twice as large. Especially in the soft morning or evening light, it has an almost fairytale-like quality.

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.

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 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

It was difficult to find the pagoda with Komoot because many of the marked paths are closed. Neither Komoot nor Google show the official entrance. Entrance fee! Info: https://www.pagode-chanteloup.com/

It's a nice hustle and bustle there!!!
