Montrichard, Medieval castle town in Loire Valley, France
The town extends along the northern bank of the Cher River, featuring a large fortress with a central stone keep that functions as the town museum.
Constructed in the early 11th century by Count of Anjou Foulques Nerra, the fortress served as a strategic point in battles against the Counts of Blois.
The Church of Nanteuil, dating from the 12th to 15th centuries, contains a notable Virgin Mary statue that draws regular pilgrim visits.
Markets take place every other Monday afternoon and Friday morning, offering local products in the town center near the river.
The Château de Pont-Cher, built into a cliff face, houses the René Galloux collection of prehistoric and Gallo-Roman artifacts from the Cher valley.
