Our cottages nestle into the hillside behind the main street of the village, where there are restaurants, a Bar, a grocer, baker, and pharmacy. We overlook the Cher valley and have the most wonderful views, we also benefit from the south facing slope with mild winter temperatures and an early spring.
Bourré is a pretty village on the north bank of the river Cher 4 km east of Montrichard. It is famous for its network of caves running a labyrinth through the 'tuffe' rock, formed by quarrying to build the chateaux and now used for making the famous 'Methode Champagnoise' - the local bubbly and for growing 'Champignons' - mushrooms; both industries welcome visitors.
Montrichard is a bustling little town with all the shops you could hope, good restaurants and bars, a market on Mondays and Fridays, a beach and peddloes, a river boat-trip, swimming pool and tennis courts. The main attraction is the Donjon - the ruined chateau, where there is a museum and a wonderful daily show when the eagles housed there are allowed to fly freely above the turrets. 10 km. to the East is Saint Aignan, another pretty little town on the south bank of the Cher, dominated by its Chateau with mediaeval streets, and good bars and restaurants, and an excellent Saturday market. Further along again is Selles sur Cher, again with a chateau and very big Thursday market.
