Romorantin-Lanthenay

Romorantin-Lanthenay is a commune in the Loir-et-Cher department that follows the banks of the Sauldre River and bridges gentle hills between 84 and 121 meters in elevation. The settlement combines several cantons and forms the center of a larger administrative district in the Centre-Val de Loire region.

The current commune formed in 1961 through the merger of two independent settlements, Romorantin and Lanthenay, which decided to unite administration and name. This fusion brought together two neighbors that sat along the same river and gradually grew into a shared center.

The local museum focuses on the Sologne, a region of forests and ponds whose crafts and way of life were shaped for centuries by hunting and fishing. Visitors discover tools, costumes and scenes that show how people here worked and lived generations ago.

The A85 motorway and regional rail network connect the town with other places across the region, allowing travelers to arrive from different directions. Trains run regularly and stop at a station within walking distance of the center.

Every October, a large event draws around 13,000 guests into the streets to sample specialties of the Sologne and meet local producers. These days turn the center into a meeting point for regional gastronomy that has been a tradition since the late 1970s.
