Sightseeing: the Château de Selles-sur-Cher

The little town of Selles is six miles south of Chémery (featured in yesterday's post) and just 10 miles upriver from Saint-Aignan. According to Wikipédia its population is 4,250. It has a big château, two bridges across the Cher River, a big outdoor market on Thursday mornings, and an impressive church.


With the exception of the first photo above, I was standing near the north end of the older of the two bridges
at Selles when I took the pictures in this post. The main street through town
is what you see in the photo just above on the right.

  1. Traveling by car is my favorite kind of trip. I love driving through small towns and villages.

    1. From the time of our arrival here 22 years ago, the château at Selles wasn't open to the public. It got new owners around the time that Covid struck and re-opened at some point. Sorry to say I've never been inside.

  3. Loving the first picture with that symmetry and two-tone facade!
