Viewpoint over the Cher
Highlight • Viewpoint
From here, take advantage of the benches and tables to rest and admire this aquatic ribbon. With a little luck, you will be able to observe the few kingfishers that inhabit it.
In one of my notebooks, I wrote about the Cher: “From my tent, I observe a Cher always so serene and soothing. The water progresses without eddies, at an even gentler pace than that of life. The wind has died down and the birds are singing. When I look up from my notebook, luck surprises me like Providence. Kingfishers sweep the riverbank in search of their meal. The silvery blue color of their feathers reminds me of the sublime color of their eyes”.

Nitray Dam
Highlight • Monument
Built in 1841, it was intended to make the Cher navigable. However, the sharp drop in river traffic during the 20th century made the tributary of the Loire unsuitable for commercial navigation. Only pleasure boats pass through it now.
It was classified in 2011 as a historical monument.
