If you're coming from Blois or Paris, you'll probably arrive at Saint-Aignan this way. You'll cross the town's bridge. I haven't found any information about how old it is. The town church and the château de Saint-Aignan are built on a promontory on the left bank of the river. The narrow cobblestoned road into town runs southeast diagonally from the bridge before turning south. The population of the town is just less than 3,000. We don't live in town itself but in a neighboring village. Our house is less than two miles from the bridge and from the château. I took these photos in May 2017 — seven years ago.
Wow, I too live in a small town (or rather a community) of less than 3,000 people. But our town (Australia) looks NOTHING like yours does! Ours is just houses and a couple of shops strung out along a beach, plus the community hall and a lawn bowls club. Oh, and a caravan park that's always popular. But nothing picturesque or historic like your town! Love the pictures. David
