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.

Candé-sur-Beuvron is a small, leafy village typical of Sologne. It's a must-see stop on the Loire Valley castle route. If you're looking for peace and quiet, you'll find them along the rivers that flow through Candé, as well as in its forests and vineyards. The village's restaurants offer local cuisine that will delight even the most discerning palates.

The little port is very pleasant. I recommend a visit to the castle for its magnificent garden.

Small castle away from the crowds in a small sleepy town.

A beautiful place – as you can see in the picture of the bridge, the rains in 2024 also drove driftwood in front of the bridge. Flooding has always been a problem here – the entire bridge has been completely submerged several times!

Even though boats nowadays have outboard motors, they are beautiful to look at.
