Apremont-sur-Allier, Rural commune in Cher department, France.

This village of 70 residents spans 130.69 square kilometers along the Allier River, surrounded by verdant bocage landscapes and agricultural lands within the Centre-Val de Loire region of central France.

The 12th-century castle served as a strategic medieval fortress controlling river access and collecting tolls, while golden stone quarries supplied construction materials for regional monuments until the early 20th century closure led to economic decline.

Recognized as one of France's Most Beautiful Villages, Apremont-sur-Allier maintains traditional French rural identity through seasonal festivals celebrating local history, regional crafts, and ancestral agricultural practices that foster strong community bonds.

Departmental roads D100, D76, and D45 connect the village to Bourges located 56 kilometers away, with gîte accommodations available and organic monthly markets held on Sundays during warmer months for visitors and residents.

Eugène Schneider transformed the village by applying 'Van Dyck Brown' color to all shutters and window frames, creating a medieval visual harmony that remains respected by all inhabitants today as part of ongoing architectural preservation efforts.
