Tips from the Community

February 17, 2026, Forteresse de Montrichard

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.

September 20, 2025, Château de Chenonceau

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.

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

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

After some searching we found the new location of Mon Jardin and we certainly did not regret it! The food is still very tasty, the service is warm and caring and the price/quality is very good. You can go there for a cup of coffee with something tasty or possibly also for lunch. Lots of vegetables, also in combination with meat or fish. They also have a small terrace with a view of the river Le Cher.

The last part of "the circle" is no longer passable. Path is overgrown with bushes and grass.
