루질레 주변 최고의 그래블 라이딩 코스

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.

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.

Today the chateau functions as a hotel/restaurant – nice surroundings, good food, very friendly staff, and still at acceptable prices.

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 interior is also well worth a visit.

The Cher River bike path is fun. However, in some places it's more of a single track, requiring concentration and avoiding many potholes.
