A tower that was deliberately sawn off. Yes, really. During this loop through Montrichard Val de Cher, you'll climb to the ruins of the Château de Montrichard. With views over the Cher, it's as if you were ruling the region yourself. Only... that keep didn't collapse. It was deliberately lowered by Henry IV. Impressive. A magnificent view.

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

Pretty little village with the added bonus of Château de Chissay, a former fortified castle which was built under Charles VII for the treasurer of France. Today a Hotel / Restaurant.

Nice view of the village crossing the bridge, with the castle and Museums of Montrichard in the distance. The castle is an 11th century fortress, now a museum.

Chissay Castle is a former royal residence dating from the Middle Ages. You can discover the history of the castle, admire its architecture and enjoy its park and courtyard. The castle is located in a charming village which offers numerous running trails along the Cher and through the vineyards.

The construction of the Montrichard bridge which spans the Cher dates back to the 12th century. On its eastern facade, it is still possible to observe its sharp forepeaks, defensive elements typical of bridges from the Middle Ages.
