Saint-Aignan-sur-Cher, Medieval commune in Loire Valley, France

Saint-Aignan-sur-Cher stands on a hillside along the Cher River, with narrow streets leading to its central square and collegiate church.

The town received its name from Saint Aignan of Orleans, who organized defenses against Attila's Huns in the 5th century.

The Saint-Aignan Collegiate Church from the 11th century contains preserved frescoes and a crypt that represents regional religious architecture.

The town serves as a central point for exploring Loire Valley castles, with Chenonceau, Valencay, and Montresor all within 25 kilometers.

ZooParc de Beauval within Saint-Aignan houses 10,000 animals, including giant pandas, making it the largest zoological park in France.
