The Cher is a tributary of the Loire, largely domesticated at the time of river trade. 365 kilometers long, it originates in the Creuse to flow into Indre-et-Loire, in the Loire. From here, take advantage of the benches and tables to rest and admire this aquatic ribbon. With a little luck, you will be able to observe the few kingfishers that inhabit it. In one of my notebooks, I wrote about the Cher: “From my tent, I observe a Cher always so serene and soothing. The water progresses without eddies, at an even gentler pace than that of life. The wind has died down and the birds are singing. When I look up from my notebook, luck surprises me like Providence. Kingfishers sweep the riverbank in search of their meal. The silvery blue color of their feathers reminds me of the sublime color of their eyes”.

The Nitray dam is a needle dam established on the Cher. Built in 1841, it was intended to make the Cher navigable. However, the sharp drop in river traffic during the 20th century made the tributary of the Loire unsuitable for commercial navigation. Only pleasure boats pass through it now. It was classified in 2011 as a historical monument.
