La Charité-sur-Loire, Medieval commune in Nièvre, France
The town extends along the right bank of the Loire River, featuring stone buildings, fortified walls, and a Romanesque priory church complex.
Founded in 1059, the Cluniac monastery became a major religious center until Joan of Arc attempted but failed to capture it in 1429.
The town maintains its reputation as the City of Words through numerous bookstores, literature festivals, and text-adorned building facades.
Visitors can reach La Charité-sur-Loire via the A77 motorway or regular train services connecting Paris to Clermont-Ferrand.
The Notre-Dame Priory Church holds UNESCO World Heritage status as part of the Santiago de Compostela pilgrimage routes in France.
