Circuit de Pontcher

Thirty kilometres from Blois, come and discover this itinerary from the castle of Montrichard. Enjoy the natural heritage of the Cher valley and the panoramic view over the Cher, and immerse yourself in the heart of the city's unique historical and medieval heritage.

South of Blois, this itinerary takes you to the Cher valley, to Montrichard, a small town with a strong historical heritage

In Celtic times, it is situated on the border of the territories of the Carnutes and the Turons with a sacred fountain in Nanteuil, whose water has been reputed for centuries to be miraculous.

In Gallo-Roman times, the village is on the Roman road that goes from Bourges to Tours. Cemeteries from the Merovingian period have also been found here. Until the end of the XVIIIth century, Montrichard is protected by an enclosure, destroyed during the French revolution

In addition to the castle, enjoy the panorama on the Cher and the medieval charm of the town centre with its half-timbered houses and its many period buildings, such as the Maison du Prêche and the Hôtel d'E
