The Cher River runs pretty much east to west in this area, from from Vierzon to Tours, both of which are about an hour's drive from Saint-Aignan. There's a town almost every ten or twelve miles along the river. The town just upriver from Saint-Aignan is called Selles-sur-Cher. It has a population of nearly 4,500. It also has a château, a huge church, and a gigantic open-air market on Thursday mornings. We often go there in springtime to buy flowers for our window boxes because the selection is more varied than what we can find nearer home. It's all of a 20-minute drive from our house. Here are a few pictures:
Oh, that pop of color! The ironwork on the doors! I love it all :)
ReplyDeleteYou are surrounded by beauty. The castle is lovely (the river is high) and primroses are so sweet.
