아제 쉬르 셰르 최고의 러닝 경로

The Cher is a French river, which flows through the departments of Allier, Cher, Creuse, Indre, Indre-et-Loire, Loir-et-Cher and Puy-de-Dôme, in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, Centre-Val de Loire and Nouvelle-Aquitaine regions.

watch out for nettles and jaggies along here though

Véretz and its 5,000 inhabitants constitute a small, quiet town on the banks of the Cher. A few shops enliven its town center. The “Château de Véretz”, rebuilt in the 19th century, dominates the Cher valley at the entrance to the village.

This beautiful path crosses shady woods, the path is generally smooth (it is unpaved however), can be muddy if it rains. There are many places to stop along the way, there are picnic tables available. You will pass by several castles such as the Château de Leugny and the Château de Beauvais.

Lock along the Cher where you may see moored barges

This bridge offers a superb view of the Cher. The lane is quite narrow, so watch out for cars.

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”.
