Tips from the Community
Almost no one knows that… Under the Château de Saint-Florent-sur-Cher lie remnants of a much older defense and trading network along the Cher River, dating back to before the current castle. The site was already important before the castle. Even before the 13th century, a strategic crossing over the Cher River existed here. Not a bridge like today, but a ford and later a primitive crossing. So the château wasn't built "just like that." It literally stands on an old thoroughfare.

Saint-Florent-sur-Cher has that "true French provincial" feel. No tourist crowds, but charming historical spots, a river arch here, an old castle there, and a relaxed atmosphere.

Appointed parish priest of Châteauneuf-sur-Cher in 1861, Abbé Ducros discovered a ruined church. To rebuild it, he decides to subscribe, asking "two pennies" from each child in exchange for which he promises to pray for him the Virgin Mary. In return, he received many "two cents," but also many letters, including one written by a ten-year-old girl, a Semur-en-Brionnais resident.

The first castle was built in the eleventh century to control the Cher valley. Until the sixteenth century, it belonged to large feudatories, the Déols-Châteauroux and the Culan (t) . The Culan (t) 2 have held Châteauneuf and St-Désiré since at least - Renoul II, 'Ap. 1253: first in their elder branch up to - Aénor/Eléonore, lady of Culan, in 1420 without any posterity of her two marriages.
