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.

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.
