Authon, Administrative commune in Loir-et-Cher, France.
Authon extends across 132 square kilometers of land in the Centre-Val de Loire region, featuring gentle slopes and agricultural landscapes near Vendôme.
The territory became part of the Canton of Saint-Amand-Longpré through administrative reforms that shaped the current structure of the Loir-et-Cher department.
The municipal area maintains French rural traditions with its local markets, agricultural activities, and administrative services centered around the town hall.
The commune provides essential public services to residents through its town hall, which opens Tuesday through Friday with specific morning and afternoon hours.
Former French President Valéry Giscard d'Estaing selected Authon as his final resting place, where he lies buried alongside his daughter Jacinte.
